Dedham Vale is an AONB that covers about 90 sq km crossing the Essex-Suffolk border. The River Stour winds its way through the valley, passing green rolling farmland.

John Constable often featured the valley in his paintings, to the extent that the area is known as Constable Country.

Some of his Dedham Vale paintings are on display at the V&A Museum in London.

It's an ok enough stretch of road although not particularly special. There are many more scenic routes than this fairly anonymous stretch of tarmac.
