The Stour Valley footpath runs along most of the river\u2019s length, but my favourite stretch is in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, made famous by the paintings of John Constable. Here, with gnarled and twisted ancient willow trees dotted along its banks, the river runs through cattle-grazed meadows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/maps\/place\/Dedham,+Essex\/@51.9492832,0.988,14z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x47d908c1c8edb60d:0x6acb5489703fabe3\" target=\"_blank\">from the village of Dedham to the tiny hamlet of Flatford<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Both Dedham and Flatford are easily reached from the A12 between Colchester and Ipswich, and there are car parks close to the river at each. The walk along the river between the two villages is around 1.5 miles and, being mostly on flat grassland or muddy footpaths, is an easy stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Around the midway point a bridge crosses the river and another footpath branches off, taking you up the sides of the valley towards East Bergholt, where there are stunning views back across the valley to Dedham. If you\u2019re not feeling that energetic, don\u2019t despair, as those views can be seen from a lay-by on the one-way lane that takes you out of Flatford.<\/p>\n<p>The water meadows at Sudbury are another interesting area, immortalised by both Constable and Gainsborough. Running around the west edge of the town, the meadows are a five-minute walk from the town centre.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_45508&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45508 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford.jpg\" alt=\"Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/Willy-Lotts-House-Flatford.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Willy Lott&#8217;s House in Flatford is a Grade 1 listed house made famous by the paintings of John Constable \u00a9 Justin Minns<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Shooting advice<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s possible to capture the charm of the River Stour all year round, even during the summer months when a blanket of mist hovering over the meadows and river is often the reward for those dedicated enough to get up in the early hours. The fresh greens of spring and rusty tones of autumn also have their charms, but for the atmosphere winter is hard to beat. Although the famous mill and thatched cottages at Flatford look glorious lit by the last rays of sunlight on a winter\u2019s afternoon, my favourite time to visit is first thing in the morning. On a still, crisp morning with frost in the air and the first pink blush of colour in the sky, it\u2019s a joy to be out.<\/p>\n<p>A 24-70mm lens, or wideangle zoom if that\u2019s your preference, will cover most of your needs along the river. A 70-200mm is useful for compressing the distance when shooting views over the valley and can help emphasise the effect of trees emerging from layers of mist.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_45507&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/River-Stour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45507 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/River-Stour.jpg\" alt=\"River-Stour\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/River-Stour.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/River-Stour.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/River-Stour.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/River-Stour.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/River-Stour.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Wellies and warm clothing are a must if you&#8217;re going to be venturing along the floodplains of the River Stour \u00a9 Justin Minns<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Food and lodging<\/h2>\n<p>There is no shortage of places within walking distance to grab a bite to eat. As well as coffee and cake, the tea rooms at Flatford serve a rather nice home-made lunch, or if a country pub is more your thing then you\u2019ll find a couple of traditional pubs on the high street in Dedham, both of which serve good food and also offer accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to splash out, then Milsoms hotel and restaurant overlooking the river just outside Dedham won\u2019t disappoint. Better-value hotels can be found ten minutes along the A12 in Colchester (or Ipswich in the other direction). The Premier Inn near the A12 at Colchester is probably the most convenient.<\/p>\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Wellies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Wellies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-45504 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Wellies-300x406.jpg\" alt=\"Wellies\" width=\"300\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Thanks to the presence of cows, the banks of the Stour are usually muddy and the river is prone to flooding during the winter months, making some areas hard to reach without wellies.<\/p>\n<h3>Filters<\/h3>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Filters.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-45506 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Filters-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Filters\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>\n<p>A set of ND grad filters will help your camera capture the large dynamic range when shooting around the hours of sunrise and sunset.

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/Stour-valley-s.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 11:31:56","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45491"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45491\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45530,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45491\/revisions\/45530"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45491"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=45491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
