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

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.

Nice little town with a scenic location at the top of the Stour estuary and a pretty, historic high street with several cafes as well as a Tesco convenience store.

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

Multiple cafes all face each other across this little crossroads in the middle of the high street, so take your pick! Cafe Rio has nice outdoor seating right on the corner but watch out if you go indoors as their laminate flooring is like ice with road cleats!

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.

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.'
