点评:The Flatford Mill complex consists of the Mill Building itself, Willy Lotts Cottage, the scene of Constables Hay Wain, the John Constable Exhibition housed in an out building, Flatford Bridge Cottage, a NT Café and a N.T. Car park where it will cost you £5 to park unless you are an NT Member. The café isn’t one of N.T.’s finest and there are no toilets here, you have to use the one in the car park. The exhibition to John Constable is small but well put together and very informative about his time living and painting in this part of the world. I suggest you see this first and then visit the Mill Pond and then enjoy trying to recreate the Hay Wain photographically. The Mill and Willy Lotts Cottage are not open to the public but used for education purposes and there were several school classes visiting on the Monday we were there.
There are several excellent walks in the area and the one we did was from Dedham, along the Stour Valley Path & St Edmund Way to get here, which is very flat and has the benefit of being next to water for the majority of it.
翻译:弗拉特福德磨坊建筑群由磨坊大楼、威利·洛茨小屋、康斯特布尔干草车拍摄场景、位于外屋的约翰·康斯特布尔展览、弗拉特福德桥小屋、NT 咖啡馆和 N.T. 停车场组成。如果您不是 NT 会员,停车费为 5 英镑。这家咖啡馆不是 N.T. 最好的咖啡馆之一,而且这里没有厕所,您必须使用停车场里的厕所。约翰·康斯特布尔的展览规模虽小,但组织得很好,并且非常详细地介绍了他在这里生活和绘画的时光。我建议您先参观这个展览,然后参观磨坊池塘,之后尝试用照片重现干草车的景象。磨坊和威利·洛茨小屋不对外开放,但用于教育目的。我们去的那个星期一,有几个学校班级参观了那里。该地区有几条很棒的步行道,我们走的那条路是从戴德姆出发,沿着斯陶尔谷小径和圣埃德蒙路到这里,地势非常平坦,而且大部分路段都紧邻水边。
