Local Attractions

The counties of Suffolk and Essex are steeped in history and charm, surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty and interest. The splendour and serenity of the Dedham countryside, captured in the paintings of John Constable, and the delightful market town of Sudbury, the birthplace of the renowned artist, Thomas Gainsborough, are both within easy reach of the hotel.

The picturesque mediaeval town of Lavenham, famous for its wool cloth trade in the 16th Century and the historic, Norman Castle in Colchester, reputed to be the oldest town in England, are also a short distance away. For those who wish to travel further afield, the impressive cities of Norwich and Cambridge and the scenic East coast, including Snape and Aldeburgh, should not be overlooked.

Positioned on the edge of the Dedham Vale, amidst 300 acres of undulating 'Constable Country', The Stoke by Nayland Club Hotel is an excellent base from which to explore this charming, historic area. It also offers the ultimate leisure facilities and country breaks.
