TUCKED away in the northeast pocket of America, nestled between New York and Canada, there are six states within the region of New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont), all within easy reach through the gateway city of Boston.
Each has its own flavour and personality and are worthy of a visit in their own right.
Autumn is a fine time to take a break in New England, regardless of which state you opt for.
The glorious landscape is just bursting with colour – from rich ochre to burnt orange, purple and scarlet and just about every other shade in between.
Mother Nature certainly certainly knows how to put on a show and her autumn spectacular in New England is a five star performance.
The kaleidoscope of colour provides a stunning backdrop for the rugged coastline, white clapboard houses, steepled churches and rolling countryside.
Sounds idyllic, doesn’t it? Seeing New England in the fall is one of those bucket list holidays and with our great deals, you could be jetting off sooner than you think.
First though, here are some of the highlights of the region for you to consider for your trip.
Rhode Island
America’s smallest state but still packs a punch with miles and miles of coastline, meaning beaches are high on the agenda as well as some great vineyards that make up the Coastal Wine Trail.
Vermont
It’s picture perfect little towns are typical New England style and a highlight is you’re an ice cream fan is the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour!
New Hampshire
This really is a state for all seasons; swimming in the beautiful lakes in summer and ski-ing in winter. Whichever time you visit, the scenery is just spectacular.
Cape Cod
Along the Atlantic coast lies Cape Cod, where you can visit Provincetown, where the pilgrims landed in 1620 and you can also enjoy whale-watching cruises.
Salem
Just 16 miles from Boston, Salem is probably most famous for the 17th Century Witch Trials. A great day out is the Salem Witch Museum but all that aside; the city has many other cultural hotspots and a rich maritime history.
