Tuesday 20/23 September 2011 (Tuesday to Friday). 4 days

East Anglia is full of historical and picturesque villages and the landscape has a special character of its own, with ‘big skies’, tidal creeks, estuaries, and beaches. We will explore these at a leisurely pace over the four days, visiting such places as Dedham and Flatford (‘Constable Country’). Southwold, Aldeburgh, Lavenham, and others. We will be based at West Mersea, with its fascinating frontage on the Blackwater estuary, where houseboats and occasional wrecks are subjects for the camera. Daily travel included.

Accommodation and meals are not included in the week, but Quest will be pleased to advise on B&B locally where this is required. There will be the option to take communal evening meals locally in the evenings. Seafood and oysters are specialities!

Price £225. (deposit £75). 6 places
