JOIN US ON A HOLIDAY TO NEW ENGLAND

One of the most northern regions of the US, it is comprised of six states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

A land of mountains, forests, and sea, it’s also home to some of America’s most astounding national parks, as well as buzzing cities like Boston and the bucolic towns that make up much of Maine. A different delight every season, New England holidays are as unique as they are alluring.

The unforgettable natural beauty of New England is concentrated in Baxter State Park, home to one of the starting points of the famous Appalachian Trail. This rugged landscape is blanketed in snow during the winter, but if your New England holiday takes place in autumn you can see it drenched in the rich reds and deep browns of fall foliage and lit up with warm, low-lying sunlight. After all, there’s a reason New England is such a famous destination to visit between September and December.

While almost everywhere in New England is gorgeous, there are places with a few more people that are worth visiting. Cape Cod is one such location, with stunning sea views and enchanting little towns dotting the peninsula. Salem should also be on your list, with guided walking tours of the centre a particular highlight. And, for those who are keen on New England rail tours, the North Conway Scenic Railway is a great attraction to enjoy for a few hours, with the train meandering through some of the region’s finest scenery.

Whether you come in Fall or Spring, Winter or Summer, you’re sure to love what New England has to offer.

1 /4

The only thing better than a New England holiday in the fall is a New England walking holiday in the fall. The fall foliage is renowned for a reason, flooding the region in colour whether you’re in one of the empty expanses of nature or the towns and cities of the area.

2 /4

The national parks in New England are unforgettable spots, and no visit to the region is complete without seeing at least one in all its glory. Acadia National Park and Baxter State Park are two of the best thanks to their unparalleled scenery, beautiful river trails, and abundance of astounding flora and fauna.

Crawford Notch in New Hampshire is one of the most famous mountain passes in the region, known for its sweeping valley views and excellent river trails. If you’re not much of a hiker the North Conway Scenic Railway passes through, so you can enjoy the views from the comfort of the train.

Things to do in New England

Enjoyed a quieter, more laid back way of life on your trip to New England. Peruse tree-lined avenues, take sleepy boat trips along the Cape and sample some of the region's delicious wine. Heaven.

A Cape Cod boating adventure allows you to find out about New England’s marine life while enjoying the ocean air, and even a glass or two of wine. We’d say it’s one of the most relaxing ways to learn about nature.
