Walkers regularly cross the River Stour and head for Flatford by crossing the popular Fen Bridge.
The bridge - part of both the St Edmund Way and Stour Valley Path walk routes - is a good link from East Bergholt towards the heart of Constable Country, allowing walkers to stroll through the meadows, watched by the cows, alongside the winding river.
The bridge has been a crossing for hundreds of years and was used by painter John Constable on his way to and from school.
However, the bridge is not the original used by Constable - and the current structure, a replica, was lifted into place by a RAF Chinook helicopter in 1985 and opened for public use following a celebration later that year.
The arrival of the helicopter, landing on the snow-covered meadows, caused quite a stir. Many villagers turned out to watch and some were allowed on board to see inside the aircraft.
