Maggi Smit • 3 January 2018

Stowe in Vermont has been recognised as the number 1 destination for fall foliage with North Conway, New Hampshire listed as number 2. Both of these destinations are included in our 14 day ‘The Best of New England in the Fall’ holiday which includes flights, car hire and accommodation.


Why not start thinking about a trip next year? Here’s a brief outline for you.


Begin your holiday in Boston, with a two night stay, before journeying along Maine's scenic coastline with is small fishing villages and many lighthouses and of course fabulous seafood restaurants!


Just outside of Boston, visit Salem with its history of witch trials, and then head for Kennebunkport where US presidents relaxed. In Bar Harbor you can shop in the boutiques, take a whale watching trip or hike through the foliage in Arcadia National Park.


North Conway offers a trip up Mount Washington as well as tax free shopping and it wouldn’t be New England without lakes and Lake Winnipesaukee where the film 'On Golden Pond' was set.


Travel along the stunningly beautiful Kancamagus Scenic Highway, stopping en-route at the Flume Gorge before continuing on to Stowe for two nights. Visit Lake Champlain, Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory and the Woodstock / Quechee area, with its spectacular gorge and quaint shops.


The Berkshires is a rural region in the mountains of western Massachusetts dotted with villages and towns. It's known for its outdoor activities, fall foliage–viewing, farm-to-table food scene and thriving arts institutions. We think you’ll love it and indeed the whole holiday!
