About Field Studies Council
Flatford Mill Field Centre
Background
Flatford Mill is situated in one of the most attractive parts of East Anglia, on the banks of the River Stour in south Suffolk. The local village is East Bergholt. Ipswich and Colchester are each nine miles away on the A12. The local train station is Manningtree, which is 10 minutes drive from Flatford and gives good access to and from other parts of the country.
The Field Centre occupies buildings leased from the National Trust, including the Mill and Mill House, Willy Lott's House and Valley Farm. The surrounding area, known as the Dedham Vale, has been made famous through the paintings of John Constable, whose family used to own Flatford Mill. The scene of one of his best-known paintings, 'The Hay Wain', is here!
The Centre runs a wide-ranging programme of residential courses and other activities throughout the year for people of all ages. Over 6,000 people visit the Centre each year, staying for periods of up to a week. At any one time there may be a combination of adults, college students, secondary school students or primary school pupils in residence, with day courses running as well.
