| Gently colour washed thatched cottages with silvery oak beams, picturesque villages and unspoiled coastline - it must be Suffolk. |
The gentle rolling countryside, famous for wool towns like Lavenham
is an unexpected delight. |
| Around every corner is a village more pictureseque than the last. Among those worth stopping at are Cavendish, Chelsworth, Cotton and Dalham - particularly noted for its thatched cottages and a five storey windmill. |
| The area around Dedham Vale, including the pretty village of Dedham and East Bergholt is known as Constable Country because the views have featured in so many of the famous artist's works. |
| A must see is Flatford Mill and Willie Lott's Cottage, - scene of his most famous work - The Haywain. Even today ,it looks much as Constable saw it in the 1700s. |
The principal town is one of England's oldest - Ipswich. Here you'll find 12
medieval churches and 660 listed buildings. The wet dock and the Victorian housing area have been preserved as Conservation Areas. |
| One of the most popular attractions in Ipswich is the Tolly Cobbold Brewery, which gives an insight into how beer is made. And, of course, it's the perfect excuse to sample a bit of the brew and enjoy some pub food. |
| And if some of these pretty towns and villages look familiar, you have probably seen them before. The area has been used as the backdrop for many television series, including Lovejoy. |
