Flatford Mill is on the River Stour close to the Suffolk-Essex border. The Centre buildings, particularly the Mill and Willy Lott's House, are instantly recognisable since they feature in many paintings by John Constable. Only an hour from London and with excellent road and rail access, the Centre is at the end of a lane which has no through traffic. It offers visitors of all ages a much sought-after sense of tranquillity to complement a unique learning environment.The rich mosaic of lowland landscapes, wildlife habitats and places of historic interest in this beautiful part of East Anglia are all reflected in the Centre's wide-ranging programme of environment and art-based courses.

How Hill House, situated in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, was built in 1904 by the architect Edward Thomas Boardman as his family's holiday home.

The house became a study centre in 1967, but ever since 1984 it has been managed by an independent charitable trust which ensures that the property is cherished.

The house is surrounded by delightful Edwardian gardens, but there is also a quite separate woodland garden featuring a magnificent springtime display of azaleas. The How Hill windows look out over a 365 acre estate, which is a most attractive and unique Broadland landscape, including reed beds, meadows, a small broad, woodlands, a reach of the River Ant, a marshman's cottage, and restored windmills.

The How Hill Trust, based in the Edwardian thatched mansion, was founded in 1984, and works in partnership with the Broads Authority, owners of the adjacent National Nature Reserve.

The Trust provides residential courses and day visits for schools, holiday courses for adults, and accommodation for conferences.
