Has anyone seen the hill?

Whilst away on a family holiday in Suffolk I was never going to get much hill walking done so instead I opted to travel a short distance to East Bergholt and walk along the Essex Way before moving Northwards to join the Stour Valley Path back to East Bergholt. The total distance travelled was about 15 miles but as the post suggests there wasn't much climbing involved.

East Bergholt (for those that don't know - and as of Monday night I was one of that number) was birthplace to artist John Constable - the area around East Bergholt and the Dedham Vale is now known as Constable Country. I added a loop at the start so I could see the location of one of Constable's paintings, The Haywain (below).
