| New England Holidays | |
If you are planning a New England holiday Bon Voyage can offer you a wide range of both escorted and bespoke tours. New England is a wonderful destination for a holiday. Within a 90-minute drive of Boston you can be walking a shore path in Maine, climbing Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire, enjoying a concert in Newport, Rhode Island, or marvelling at the mansions of Cape Cod.
Welcome to the six states of New England - great scenery, coastline, beaches, culture and great people. Add the proud yankee city of Boston and have it blended together by the experts at Bon Voyage for truly memorable New England holidays.
|
Connecticut:
Wedged between New York City and Boston, Connecticut may be small, but it delivers on quality: inns and restaurants, museums and galleries, shopping and fun. The seashore is a delight, dotted with colonial villages set on beaches and coves. Inland, the countryside is easy on the eye, with a landscape that is almost English in places. But, there are also vibrant cities and major attractions for couples as well as families.
|
Maine:
Finding unspoiled landscapes and getting away from the tourist crowds on your New England holiday is easy: just head for Maine. The Pine Tree State is vast. As big as all the other five New England states put together, it has mountains and valleys, lakes and rushing rivers guarded by those signature pine trees. Then there is a coastline, peppered with lighthouses, a Maine trademark. Here, the Atlantic surges past thousands of little islands to crash onto granite rocks. Invigorating, refreshing, inspiring: that's Maine.
|
Massachusetts:
Ever since the Pilgrims arrived in New England, Massachusetts has been at the heart of the action: the first university (Harvard), the start of both political and industrial revolutions. Even the cultural revolution started here, led by writers such as Thoreau and Emerson. The Bay State stretches from the Atlantic, with Cape Cod and the rocky North Shore, past the broad Connecticut River valley to the rolling Berkshire Hills. Attractive villages are everywhere, both inland and by the sea.
|
New Hampshire:
Lakes and mountains dominate this picturesque state, which has 18 miles of seacoast and one photogenic village after another. With most inhabitants in the south, there are miles of quiet lanes to explore. The White Mountains provide great skiing in winter and fabulous hiking in summer and autumn. On vast Lake Winnipesaukee, you can paddle or boat, fish or swim. Its pine-clad islands provide a retreat from everyday life. As for shopping on your New England Holidays: there's no state tax!
|
Rhode Island:
Small really is beautiful when it comes to Rhode Island. Only 37 miles wide and 48 miles deep, 'Little Rhody' is the USA's smallest state. But, it has 400 miles of coastline and a great sailing tradition: welcome to the Ocean State! There is plenty to do here, with Providence and Newport, two of New England's most historic and lively city's, plus soft, sandy beaches, peaceful countryside, fine restaurants and high-quality B&B inns. And it is not an island!
|
Vermont:
A historian once reckoned that Vermont was 'every American's second state'. Quite simply, the cows, red barns and hills, the white-steepled churches, village greens and twisting country roads represent 'traditional America'. No wonder British visitors also love this state, named after its hilly spine: the Green Mountains (Verts Monts in French). It's the sort of natural countryside that townies enjoy as much as country folk. There are friendly B&Bs, serving local maple syrup on your pancakes; there are trout in the streams and snowy hillsides for skiing. Make Vermont a part of your New England holiday.
