Walk through a living paintingAbout this Event
Mama Jon has got a brand new trip in a fairytale land, right on the border with Essex and Suffolk, filled with sneaking rivers, glorious little villages, woodlands and a beautiful estuary.
This hike will be the first in the region, as it has a lot to offer, painted by some of the greatest masters, you will be walking through some actual living paintings.
There is a reason why the Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty is called Constable Country, the famous John Constable himself has painted many of his master pieces based on the scenes in the region and you might recognise some of his most famous scenes as you walk through it, it is a bit as if you were one of his character evolving in one of his worlds, and, who knows, maybe you are, and someone will be looking at you and regognise the masterpiece that you are!
We will kick off the hike with the official Dedham Vale path and finish the hike in the pretty town of Manningtree, right by the sea in this pretty estuary right after the second part of the hike which is a section of the Essex Way.
Now, afterwards, I do know that my hiking family are all a bunch of foodies, so, yes, we can pop into a restaurant or a bar for a meal or a drink and ruin our day out burning calories by doubling our calories intake of the day at a nice local eatery :)
As always, we will buy a discounted train ticket at the station, so please bring some cash, price will be confirmed on the day but it should be around £30. The train journey takes about an hour and 10 minutes if there are no delays.
