    I lived in Wells, Maine until I was 12, and currently live in Peterborough, NH (and have lived in this area for 13 years. New England is such a rich, beautiful region, full of natural beauty and history, and I have always been homesick living anywhere else.

    Great lens! I took my vacation last year to Primrose Inn in Bar Harbor, then 5 days in Lincoln, NH and the White Mountains in late September. Was there during the perfect transition from summer to autumn: flowers in bloom on the ground, leaves changing above.

    I've lived in New Hampshire for 16 years and there's STILL lots of things there and throughout New England I have not explored. Maybe once I get back from living in Brazil for a year (which I'm beginning to write about here on Squidoo) I'll do some writing about some of my favorite places in New Hampshire!

    Thanks for the detailed guide. I want to take an extended trip around New England from Connecticut to Maine some day. I've been to Boston and seen a lot of the historic buildings but that's about it. The pictures you put up with the foliage and lighthouses are absolutely stunning.

    North Conway NH is a beautiful destination in the White Mountains of NH. For a true mtn. village experience Jackson NH can bring you back to the time of the grand old hotels.
    Essex MA and Cape Ann are also a few hidden gems of MA tourism.

    I can't tell you the name of the Best Beach North of Cape Cod but I can tell you that #2 is Crane's Beach in Ipswich MA. Full services available, patrolled, lifeguards in season, very family friendly with gentle surf for fun in the waves. Great tides.

    Boston is a favorite city of mine, very cool place indeed.

    I have been out East four times in the last six months, and am going to Boston again in October. Can't wait. Such a beautiful place. You did a great job on this lense. Makes me wish I was there again right now. Thumbs up!
  • BillBarbin Sep 29, 2011 @ 11:24 am | delete
    The White Mountains of NH are about 2 hrs. north of Boston. North Conway NH is a great destination to see the most beautiful fall foliage change. Rt. 95 to Rt. 16 to Rt. 112 to Rt. 93 back to Boston.

    I come from Australasia, but if i ever do GET to the States i will certainly add New England to my list of places to visit. Thank you for a great lens!

    What a gorgeous lens - wonderful pictures, too. By coincidence, I have just started a conversation with an owner about a sick dog on Cape Cod. That has always been a name to exercise my imagination.

    Umm... So I don't know if anyone else has noticed or mentioned this yet, but Bangor is NOT Maine's state capitol. Augusta is.

    Error corrected, sorry about that!
  • Ashleigh Jan 30, 2011 @ 8:12 pm | delete
    Just wanted to say I live in Maine, and the capital is Augusta, about 1.5 hours south of Bangor. So if you for some reason want to visit the Capitol building, don't go to Bangor because it isn't there.

    Hi! I am leaving in East Coast (New Jersey) so I visited a part of those sites and I can truly appreciate the information value of your lens. The lens is also beautifully done.
    So I sprinkle Angel dust blessing your lens.

    I lived most of my life in Massachusetts up until 2000, when I moved to Oregon. New England is beautiful and I sometimes miss it (though not during its Winters!). This is another excellent travel lens. I've lensrolled it to my DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer Series lens.

    Great lens. We moved to Connecticut just over a year ago. It is probably the most English-like part of America so a good place to relocate to.

    Oops. New Jersey is obviously not in New England. So that's three out of six. I should be slepping at 2:00 a.m. instead of leaving comments on Squidoo. ;)

    Beautiful lens. I lived in Connecticut for two years when I was small. My sister went to college in Massachusetts and I visited here there several times. Also, I was in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for a weekend when I was going to law school in Washington, DC. Last but not least, I was in Newport, RI visiting the mansions. That's four out of six! New England is a great place to visit (and live).
  • Sylvestermouse Nov 3, 2010 @ 8:52 am | delete
    Awesome! We have always wanted to take a few weeks and tour the New England states. I think we could easily take a couple of weeks in each state :)

    I summer in New Hampshire, but love wandering around in Maine and Vermont too. The seafood alone is reason enough to come to this scenic area. Driving the curvy back roads and into lovely villages that date back to colonial days is a beautiful way to travel.

    I could go on and on, but you've covered it pretty well in this lens.

    Ah -- been meaning to read this road trip for a long time -- so glad I stopped by, as it brought back some lovely memories! 40 years ago we joined my parents in upstate NY, rented a pop-up camper, and 6 of us (including our son, age 6 and daughter age 3) took a 6 day camping 'road trip' through the New England States. We saw so many of the places you mention here - Mount Washington (including riding the cog railway) and Franconia Notch in New Hampshire, the mountains in Vermont, visited Stowe (in fact, today, I have a cousin who is a pastry chef at a ski resort in Stowe), on up to Maine with a fresh lobster meal on the Maine coast, back down to Massachusetts with a day touring Boston, including a fantastic, never-to-be-forgotten, meal at Durgin Park, and many other places. We didn't make it to Rhode Island, but loved the 6 days we had in NE. To this day, my daughter teases me that we wouldn't buy her a lobster dinner in Maine and made her eat a hot dog! I keep reminding her she was only 3-years-old and one doesn't spend the price of a lobster meal on a 3-yr-old! LOL. This is a delightful reminder of my trip. ~~SquidAngel Blessed~~

    Fantastic and informative lens. I want to be able to visit Duxbury at some point as it was formed by one of my ancestors Captain Myles Standish and bears our name. Blessed by a passing Squid Angel :-)

    Very informative lens! Now I know where I'll be going on my next holidays. Pay a visit to my lens about tourist sights in Athens, so if you ever find yourself in Athens you'll know where to go. ;) Keep up the good work!

    Great job on covering so many of the wonderful places and aspects of New England. I live in New York State and I've visited lots of places the places you mention. My daughter is in college in Maine so that gives us a good reason to drive through several of the states quite often!

    I lived in New England for the first 50 years of my life and have visited nearly all the places you highlighted here. Great tourism lens - shows off the best of the region and each state's uniqueness. Autumn is the most beautiful season, but all the seasons in New England have their special appeal. Don't forget to mention the NH and VT apples!

    Very very nice! I'm a New England adoptee! Moved to Amherst, Mass 18 months ago and love it love it! This lens will be a great resource when I begin to venture out of Western Ma. 5*/fav/fan/roll to my golden tour near you about an art exhibit here this fall. Also black sheep deli lens about a popular eatery for UMass and Amherst College students as well as us geezers.

    Great lens on New England. I haven't been there yet, but after reading all this, I'm ready. I know they do have beautiful falls from the pictures & I especially loved the lighthouses. I'm gonna have to go and plan for next year! Thanks for sharing

    This is gorgeous! I lived in MA for 4 years. In general, the coasts and fall foliage always amaze me. Simply stunning!

    *sigh* This lens makes me miss my home state of Rhode Island and New England in general. I've lived in all New England states except Vermont, which I just love. I love living in Arizona too, but a big part of my heart will always be in the northeast. I've got to get back there for a nice, long visit soon. Thanks for a wonderful lens. Lots of places I know well.

    I live in New Hampshire and this lens covers about everything it seems...I will roll it to my foliage lens for sure. Just wondering if that ravine photo is Quechee Gorge? I don't travel much so couldn't give you a favorite place. Excellent lens.
