Walking with Constable : Walk G

Walking with Constable

<p style='text-align: justify;'><a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='https://walking-the-landscape.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/walks/Walk-G/'>Walk G</a> took a gentle circular route around the village of East Bergholt, where John Constable grew up. We circled the village clockwise, using the old <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='https://www.ebsoc.org.uk/sensitive-area/donkey-track-and-heath/'>Donkey Track</a> to reach the site of the <a href='/view/PR-FITZWILLIAM-P-00232-01954-00001-B/1'>'Spring' mezzotint</a>. After a brief portion along a busy Mill Road, we were soon on an adventure through open fields and winding our way through the undergrowth on a variety of paths and trails around the southern edge of the village. Once we reached the western side of the village, we took a look at the <a href='/view/PR-FITZWILLIAM-P-00232-01954-00002-B'>‘Summer Evening’ mezzotint</a> and the view down to Dedham. We then took some time to explore the curious church in East Bergholt before making our way to the viewpoint for the <a href='/view/PR-FITZWILLIAM-P-00232-01954-00001-C/1'>‘Autumnal Sunset’ mezzotint</a>. </p>
