A true domain of New England at its best, 1000's of square miles of unspoiled natural beauty, woodlands & farmlands, nestle in the northwestern corner of the Nutmeg State! Only 100 miles from NY & 115 miles from Boston, the area that was one of the original 13 colonies remains rich with carefully preserved history and lore. Edged by giant maples, flowering apple orchards, picture-perfect red barns and white clapboard houses. Historic covered bridges dating back to the Revolutionary War can still be crossed. Peaceful towns & villages founded in the 1700's seem untouched by time; steepled churches rise above manicured village greens; meticulously restored houses bespeak traditions of old; upscale shops & restaurants, country inns & b&b’s blend with gracious surroundings.
Travelers seeking a destination that combines country pleasures with sophisticated delights as gourmet dining, classical concerts & just unwinding find Litchfield Hills an ideal getaway.
