New England holidays - Exuberant, classic and historical
A truly beautiful region in the north-east of the US, New England comprises six states: stunningly verdant Maine, vibrant and academic Connecticut, the undulating leafy countryside of Vermont, mountainous New Hampshire, tiny, charming and wealthy Rhode Island and finally Massachusetts, home to Boston and the spectacular coastine of Cape Cod. Whilst famous for the gorgeous ‘Fall’ scenery in September and October, this region is also a fantastic year-round destination with myriad places to explore and activities to enjoy.
