Located just one mile from the A12, Bergholt Tye is well placed for travel with access South to the M25 and London and North to Ipswich and the East Coast ports. Three miles away is Manningtree, which although being the smallest town in Britain, offers a surprisingly wide range of shops, restaurants and facilities, and a mainline station to London's Liverpool Street .

Britain's oldest recorded town, Colchester is ten miles away while Ipswich is eleven miles in the opposite direction. Both these towns are accessible directly by rail via Manningtree station.

East Bergholt
Green, wooded hills, fertile farmland, flowering meadows, East Bergholt has all this and more. Resting on the edge of this delightful village on the Essex-Suffolk border, Bergholt Tye offers a rare quality of living.

Overlooking the beautiful Stour Valley, this picturesque village is the birthplace of John Constable, the great English landscape painter. Flatford Mill was the site where he painted many of his famous works, including the Haywain.

Other local landmarks include the village church, which attracts international attention. St Mary's, lost its tower when the money to modernise it ran out over 460 years ago. Since then its unique set of five bells have been housed in a temporary cage dating from 1531.
