The Old Post Office in the pretty village of Higham provides a wonderful base to explore the beautiful countryside of Dedham Vale, closely associated with the works of John Constable. The cottage features in his painting, The Stour Valley from Higham. This beautiful timber framed building has lots of space to relax in, with a cosy wood burning stove in the sitting room.

Neighborhood info

Beyond the parkland of Higham Place, the countryside of Dedham Vale extends with beautiful views which have captivated a number of world renowned painters. Munnings, Gainsborough and Constable all spent considerable periods of time in the area and The Old Post Office is depicted in Constable's painting, The Stour Valley from Higham. There are a number of footpaths from Higham which allow you to access the Stour Valley Path taking you to Dedham and Flatford Mill where you can explore the area that Constable painted in more detail. Slightly further afield, the Munnings Museum is south of Dedham at Castle Hill. Higham sits within the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Besides exploring the stunning Suffolk...
