Artwork, Countryside

Flatford Mill and the area around it inspired the artist John Constable. The National Trust has a small exhibition nearby and there are waymarked walks which take in the places Constable knew, and painted. Guided tours are also available. Or you can hire a boat on the river Stour.

There is no public access to Flatford Mill or Willy Lott's House (pictured).

CherryPie on Along the seafront at PortsmouthI have been to the Naval Base on several occasions but I have never had enough time to visit Portsmouth Town. You have shown me what I have missed.
Darlene on Along the seafront at PortsmouthWhat a wonderful comprehensive post on your hometown. We visited once many years ago. I recall the castle and my eight year old daughter liked it. We also took a ferry to The Isle of Wight a few years later. It would be worth exploring in more detail, based on

travelling_han on Along the seafront at PortsmouthWhat a lovely post Mike, I have only ever been to Portsmouth to get the ferry to the Isle of Wight for a holiday. I really must stop and explore it one of these days :-)
notesoflifeuk on Along the seafront at PortsmouthI've never been, but I would love to visit sometime.
Andy on Along the seafront at PortsmouthSuch an informative piece Mike, and clearly a place so close to your heart. I must have visited as a child as I do have a clear recollection of walking around the HMS Victory, or maybe it was a replica. And I have a very clear visual memory of seeing
