New England

Overview

A holiday to New England encapsulates rural America: White wooden churches and clapboard houses nestling among the trees, grey timbered barns set amid lush pastures, and delicious wholesome foods such as blueberries and cranberries, maple syrup and succulent shellfish.

Whenever you visit New England each season has its own distinctive charm. In winter the land often rests under a crisp blanket of snow, spring brings the blossoming of the trees and flowers and rich green colouring, summer days are filled with sunshine tempting people out to the delightful coastal villages, and Fall with its gold, yellow, russet and vermilion hues creates a glorious landscape.

The New England region of America is comprised of six very unique states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont — all easily reached through the delightful historic city of Boston or Hartford, the capital of Connecticut. Combine them all on your New England fly drive as you travel from coast to mountains, beaches to lakes and city to villages. On your New England holiday treat yourself with a stay in traditional and cosy inns, mansion houses, beach resorts and luxury hotels.

A road trip to New England is like no other with amazing scenic drives from coast to mountains and yet has the same rural historic American ambience. Famous for viewing the Fall foliage, as the birthplace of America, lobster and blueberry pie!

Best Features and things to do

Rich American history - The place of the Pilgrim landings, the start of the American Revolution, part of the slave underground railroad and the new home of the Von Trapp Family.
