Dedham is in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which straddles the Essex-Suffolk border.
The area, which has the River Stour running through it, is best known as Constable Country – named after the famous British landscape artist who lived locally.
Dedham Art Society supports East Anglia Children’s Hospice and is a partner of the local Munnings Museum.
The King and Queen also paid a visit to the Sun Inn gastro-pub, where the Queen Consort tried cutting ravioli pasta in the kitchen.
Towards the end of the walkabout, they listened to a choir of schoolchildren in the street, before the King unveiled a plaque and cut a cake at the Essex Rose tearoom.
