New England Tours & Holidays

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.

Clams have been a staple dish in this part of the world for centuries, in all their forms. While clam chowder is a firm favourite, fried clams are just as moreish.

They love their beer in New England, with thousands of microbreweries based in the region. Bars will almost always stock local fare among national and international favourites. Give one a try and you might just find your new favourite brew.

Food and drink in New England is as varied as their seasons, which means you'll never be stuck for choice.
