Constable Country

Enjoy an Elite Door to Door holiday to the county that inspired John Constable.

Art and architecture and preserve history are strong influences on this beautiful tour down South. 

 

As a result of being both home and inspiration to notorious Romantic artist, John Constable, the Essex/Suffolk border has affectionately become known as Constable country.   

Enjoy a genteel visit to the village of Dedham, for a Tiptree Cream Tea at the Essex Rose Tea House – it’s not a trip to a tea house without a home-made scone – especially paired with locally made jam! 

There can’t be many places where a four-legged chicken, railway planning documents and a picture of the Queen represent and liven up the history of a brand, but at the Tiptree Museum, this is the case.  From its origins, to supporting the troops through both World Wars to the present day, the Museum addresses the process and evolution of jam making and displays an array of jars from over the years.  A visit to the shop at the end of the Museum tour is a must – there are a range of Tiptree branded products, including jams, sauces and spirits.  The toilets are also well worth a visit – they are entirely papered with former Tiptree advertising posters and paraphernalia.    

Also included is admission to Audley End House and Gardens, an early 17th century house in Saffron Walden.
