Autumn colours, New England<br />
New England<br />
When it comes to holiday destinations, New England has it all. Autumn<br />
– or fall as they call it in the <strong>States</strong> – is an excellent time to go, when the<br />
leaves on a million trees turn a vibrant tapestry <strong>of</strong> scarlet, gold, purple<br />
and orange. The colours start to turn in the northern states <strong>of</strong> Maine,<br />
Vermont and New Hampshire around mid-September, peaking around<br />
mid-October. In the southern states <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts, Rhode Island<br />
and Connecticut, the change starts later and the incredible colours<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten last until November. These are perfect months for self-drive<br />
itineraries, with the air crisp and cool and the farm stalls piled high with<br />
apples and swollen pumpkins.<br />
But New England is more than a one-season wonder. The long coastline<br />
is an ideal summer playground, with opportunities for everything from<br />
whale-watching tours to swimming and sea kayaking. From Maine’s<br />
rocky shoreline, past the stylish seaside resort <strong>of</strong> Kennebunkport to the<br />
broad sandy beaches <strong>of</strong> Cape Cod and upmarket islands <strong>of</strong> Martha’s<br />
Vineyard and Nantucket, New England’s coast is ripe for summer<br />
exploration.<br />
There is history, too. New England has born witness to many a nationforging<br />
moment. The Pilgrim Fathers (and Mothers) landed in Plymouth,<br />
Massachusetts in 1620. The first shots <strong>of</strong> the Revolution were fired just<br />
outside Boston in 1775. And Fenway Park, the country’s oldest baseball<br />
stadium, opened for the Red Sox in 1912.<br />
Boston makes for a wonderful city break, <strong>of</strong>fering world-class museums,<br />
galleries and concert halls, as well as the famous Freedom Trail that links<br />
the city’s historic sites. But it’s also the gateway to the wider region.<br />
From Boston you can head out onto the quiet leafy backroads, exploring<br />
scenic villages with steeple-topped churches, clapboard houses<br />
and iconic covered bridges, where historic inns and boutique hotels<br />
guarantee a warm welcome.<br />
Then there is the food, regarded as some <strong>of</strong> the finest in <strong>America</strong>.<br />
It was New England chefs that piloted the farm-to-fork movement<br />
and right across the region you’ll find fresh local produce being<br />
championed in restaurants, hotels, markets and farm stores. The<br />
seafood is especially sublime; the lobster rolls are quite possibly worth<br />
the price <strong>of</strong> a plane ticket alone.<br />
