I picked up a 12" mid-ride but really struggled to fit it in a jersey pocket along with the bottle of wine.

There are guided tours available in the holiday season which you can pick up from Flatford Cottage where there is also a pretty decent cafe and a picnic area. Boats are also available for hire and there are short boat tours that will take you on the beautiful Stour as far as Dedham.

The Flatford Granary stored grain until the 19th century when flour milling became profitable. Owned by Golding Constable, it passed to his son Abram and was eventually sold to William Bentall in 1846.

The beautiful Fen Bridge spans over the River Stour in the picturesque Stour Valley in Suffolk.

Nice flat, peaceful riverside route between Manningtree and Mistley Towers (the only remaining parts of a demolished church).

One of the quintessential rural English scenes. A dead end on road, although there is an off-road route that connects to Manningtree if you don't mind some gravel riding.

Come early

Lovely spot with riverside cafe, picnic area and access to walks

This is the spot (more or less) of the view shown in John Constable’s The Hay Wain, now largely preserved by The National Trust.

Harbour side view of the bay and over onto Dedham Vale (Constable country). Just down the street there are plenty of coffee shops and pubs for refreshments.

If in Dedham, Castle House is well worth a visit. Alfred Munning's home displays his amazing paintings and is a really interesting place. Be careful to check opening times. There is a painting of Christ in the church by Munning's too.

This wonderfully picturesque spot on the River Stour was immortalised by John Constable's famous 1817 painting 'Flatford Mill'. This was the largest of Constable's great exhibition pieces to be painted primarily outdoors, during the summers of 1816 and 1817. Today, it's still a lovely place to wander, right in the heart of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

From the National Trust; 'The Granary was used to store grain until it could be processed at either the water or steam mills, a function it continued to provide until the early 19th-century. By the middle of the 18th-century it was more lucrative to mill grain into flour than to full cloth. Flatford Mill was converted into a flour mill and the Granary was used to store grain and flour. Until his death in 1816, Flatford Granary formed part of Golding Constable's (John Constable's father) milling estate. The Granary then passed to Golding's younger son Abram who sold it to William Bentall in 1846.'

Ok it’s left out of the station then right as you enter the car park or else you be scratching your head looking around

A short trip up the river and back really adds to the day if you have time

Dedham Lock and its historic former mill were made famous by John Constable's stunning painting set here. His father owned and operated the mill, so Constable had an incredibly close connection to it. The setting is just as lovely as the painting suggests, with clear water and lush vegetation surrounding it.

Manningtree has traditionally claimed to be the smallest town in England, but its 2007 population of 700 people in 20 hectares[2] and the 2011 census population for the civil parish of 900 are much higher than the 351 population of Fordwich, Kent.[3] However the settlement of Manningtree has a population of 5696.[4] In April 2009 it was proposed that Manningtree should merge with Mistley and Lawford to form a single parish, losing its separate identity as a town.[5] As of 2018 such a merger has not occurred, and the town council currently claims to be the smallest by area.

The square symmetrical towers are in the neoclassical style, resembling tall pavilions rather than towers, with each facade pedimented and the whole surmounted by a cupola decorated with blind windows interspersed by Ionic columns. At ground floor level two unfluted ionic columns at each corner support a decorative cornice. The columns are decorative only, and appear to serve no structural purpose. The design of the towers creates the impression that the building was once more of a miniature cathedral than a parish church. However, the main body of the church was small and occupied the (now empty) site between the two towers. It was a single storey structure with a simple hipped roof and entrance porticos at its centre. This was the part of Adam's church which was demolished in 1870. The remaining towers are Grade I listed and a scheduled monument. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistley_Towers)
