Famous arty landscapes - Dedham Vale

For an art lover, some places are instantly recognisable from the world's great landscape paintings. So why not visit them in person? There are some great holiday destinations that the likes of Van Gogh, Vermeer and Canaletto have immortalised. Here are some of the best.

Dedham Vale
Where: Border of Essex and Suffolk, England.
Who: John Constable.
Why: Along with Turner, Constable is the most famous British landscape artist and he didn't tend to leave his home patch all that much. Both The Haywain and, unsurprisingly, Dedham Vale were painted in the area. Meanwhile, the church tower in Stoke-by-Nayland featured in numerous Constable paintings.
Also... Walking holidays through Constable Country - the Stour Valley and Dedham Vale - are available through www.walkingbreaks.com.
