Follow in Constable’s footsteps, going back in time, to about 250 years ago, to see the houses where he lived, worked and painted his great iconic landscape masterpieces on the Heath, Hampstead, and around the NW3 London village, finishing with his family tomb, at the local church.

Estelle speaks to you, describing the story of Constable’s life, his parents, family, wife and children. His dislike of Turner and relationship with the Royal Academy. Painting ‘en plein air’ and ‘alla prima’, British Romanticism, Dutch Golden Age influences, inspiring future French Impressionism.

"Although I thought I knew Hampstead pretty well Estelle Lovatt's atmospheric and meticulously researched walking tour revealed hidden streets and pathways and unexpected vistas that I'd never come across before. It was an amazing experience to tread in Constable's footsteps, and I learned so much about the man, his life and his art. I thoroughly recommend this experience."
