Where you’ll be based

Flatford Mill was our very first field study centre in the UK, where outdoor learning began, set in the heart of the Dedham Vale National Landscape. Picture starting your day beside the River Stour, surrounded by the classic English countryside that inspired John Constable.

With riverside habitats, ancient woodland, lakeside margins and open grassland all within our 7‑hectare grounds, the landscape becomes your living classroom. Wildlife is part of everyday life here: kingfishers along the river, barn owls over the fields, dragonflies over the ponds, and even otters in the waterways.

Flatford Mill is not only a special place to teach and explore – it is a truly inspiring place to work steeped in history, creativity and natural beauty.
