A GREAT VACATION DESTINATION...
New England is the historic heart of modern America, and comprises the six states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Bounded on the north by Canada and on the east
by the Atlantic Ocean, the region offers
immense diversity.
There are rivers and lakes, towering
forests, miles of white sand beaches,
mountain ranges with hiking and
skiing trails, quaint fishing villages,
and coastal resorts with elegant
yachts bobbing in the harbour.
Holidays in New England are
richly rewarding... white-steepled
churches on emerald greens...
sophisticated Boston... and, in the
autumn, forests aflame with reds
and golds. Discover New England,
and discover your next vacation
destination!
...WHATEVER THE SEASON
Since New England is on the same
latitude as Rome, summers are hot. Hit the
beaches from Connecticut to Maine; cool off
on lakes and in forests.
New England's fall foliage is legendary. In autumn,
the warm days and crisp nights help the
leaves change from green to a tapestry of
colour.
Go in winter for snow and crisp
sunny days, for skiing and snowboarding
in the mountains, city breaks with great
shopping, theatre and museums.
Maple sugaring cues the advent of spring, a showcase for New England's love of gardening. Festivals celebrate daffodils, tulips and lupins, lilac, roses and dogwood.
SPOTLIGHT NEW ENGLAND
Connecticut Specialty Tempts Taste Buds
One of Connecticut's great food contributions is the delicious hot lobster roll. Made with warm lobster and melted into a buttered roll, the Connecticut lobster roll differs from the typical New England lobster roll style. To pick your favorite, visit Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale in Madison and Westbrook, Abbott's Lobster-in-the-Rough in Noank and Knap's Landing in Stratford. Three classic inns in Connecticut combine New England charm with modern culinary appeal. The Bee & Thistle Inn, Copper Beech Inn and Old Lyme Inn all reside near the Connecticut River and offer notable gastronomic experiences, including fresh local seafood along with French and modern American cuisine.
