England > Suffolk & Essex

An Inspiration And A Delight

It's no wonder that great landscape painters like Constable and Gainsborough hailed from the southern part of East Anglia.

Great fields of wheat sway in the breeze, rivers like the Stour meander through the wooded landscape and, above all, a wide-open sky creates a quality of light that you just don't experience anywhere else in Britain.

You'll find chocolate box scenes where half-timbered cottage cluster round perfectly kept greens in villages like Thaxted and Cavendish, and timeless seaside communities like Aldeburgh and Southwold where the much sought after beach huts change hands for thousands.

Further south, the Essex coast opens out into wide estuaries where bird life abounds. It also boasts traditional seaside resorts such as Southend-on-Sea.
