Things to do in Dedham
This peaceful little place is perfect for those looking to spend their break exploring the local sights at a leisurely pace.
As you stroll through the streets, keep an eye out for some of the most notable, historic buildings, from the pretty, 15th-century church, to Sherman's Hall just opposite, once an old schoolhouse and now a Grade I listed building.
A haven for artists, famous painters John Constable and Sir Alfred Munnings called Dedham their home. You can still see the Old Grammar School attended by Constable in the late 19th century, and Sir Alfred Munnings Art Museum is set within his old home. And if you'd like to get out and discover the side of Dedham that really inspired these great artists, visit Dedham Country Park for a day out to remember.

One of the town's must-sees is The Sun Inn. It serves traditional pub food and it still has the original coaching arch, making it a great spot for a photo.
Other popular eateries include the Le Talooth, the perfect place for a fancy, fine dining experience with contemporary British cuisine, Dedham Boathouse and Milsoms for relaxed bistro dining.
When it comes to booking the perfect Dedham hotel, go for somewhere close to the town to get the most from your trip. Maison Talbooth, Milsoms Hotel and the Holiday Inn Express are all popular options.
But however you choose to spend your time in Dedham, make the most of it and explore everything this charming destination has to offer.
