Cottages in Constable Country
A random selection of our cottages in Constable Country (refresh to see another selection)
Ancient towns and beautiful secluded villages, its landscape designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Both town and country are steeped in history, from Boadicea's stand against the Romans, invasions by the Vikings, settlement by the Normans and the early 'industrialisation' created by a thriving wool trade.
The River Stour, one of the longest and most beautiful rivers in East Anglia, little changed over the centuries, winds its way through a wide pastoral and wooded valley to the coast at Manningtree. Inspiration to artists over the centuries, its landscape inspired great works by Constable, Gainsborough, Munnings and Nash. Scenes represented in many of these paintings 'The Hay Wain at Flatford Mill' remain familiar to us today.
With delightful village pubs, fine restaurants, peaceful country walks and cycle-paths this is an area to explore at a leisurely pace.
