An photographic guide to
Hay Wain 200
Below you'll find photos of each of the pieces that make up the Hay Wain 200 trail, and a map of the route.
Start - Dedham
Constable's headmaster, Dr Grimwood, said Constable knew "little latin and less literature..."
"I have a kingdom of my own ... my landscape and my children."
"Nature is the fountain's head, the from whence all originality must spring."
"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful."
"The sound of water escaping from mill dams, willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts and brickwork, I love such things. These scenes made me a painter."
End - Flatford
"Landscape... 'tis to her that I look for fame - and all that the warmth of the imagination renders dear..."
The plaque at the Flatford Mill end of the trail, has a replica of an engraving made by Constable. Enlarged view below
