Flatford Bridge Cottage

A thatched cottage dating from the 16th century. Flatford Bridge Cottage houses an exhibition on the life and work of 17th century painter John Constable, who painted the house frequently. Constable's father owned the nearby Flatford Mill, and Constable often painted the mill itself as well as Bridge Cottage, and Willie Lott's Cottage.

Bridge Cottage has a tea garden serving light refreshment, a shop, and offers boat hire. There is foot access to National Trust land in Dedham Vale, the very heart of "Constable Country".

Flatford Mill, Willie Lot's Cottage, and Valley Farm are used for arts courses, though the properties can be visited by groups through prior arrangement with the Field Studies Council.

Location
In Flatford, 1 m S East Bergholt, Suffolk, on B1070

Entry
