Constable Country

Beautiful Constable country is located on the border of Essex and Suffolk, one of England's oldest and most celebrated counties, and is home to some of the country's most magnificent stately homes.

This enchanting region of England was the birthplace of renowned artist John Constable and has grown in popularity.  We travel to historic Bury St Edmunds, where an open-air market takes place in the town square every Wednesday. The next stop is Lavenham, one of the UK's best-preserved medieval villages dating back to Saxon times. The main street was featured in scenes from Harry Potter's "Deathly Hollows." Finally, we arrive at Ipswich, where the voyage begins, setting the stage for a leisurely exploration along the River Orwell.  This carefully curated experience combines the serenity of a river cruise with the pleasure of a delicious afternoon tea.
