A true domain of New England at its best, the thousand square miles of unspoiled natural beauty, woodlands and farmlands, rushing rivers and spring fed mountain lakes, nestle in the northwestern corner of the Nutmeg State! Only 100 miles from New York and 115 miles from Boston, the area that was one of the original thirteen colonies remains rich with carefully preserved history and lore. Edged by giant maples, picturesque roads wind their way past the greenest of pastures that stretch as far as the eye can see, 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 and villages founded in the seventeen hundreds seem untouched by time; steepled churches rise above manicured village greens; meticulously restored houses bespeak traditions of old; upscale shops and restaurants, country inns and B & B's blend with gracious surroundings. Today, travelers seeking a destination that combines country pleasures such as settling in at centuries-old inns and strolling down tree shaded lanes, with such sophisticated delights as gourmet dining, some of the best antiquing in New England, classical concerts by internationally famed musicians and just unwinding in the areas unspoiled natural beauty find northwest Connecticut's Litchfield Hills an ideal getaway.
