New England Holidays


usa
New England holidays offer the perfect blend of history, scenic mountains, stunning fall foliage colours and rolling countryside dotted with red wooden barns.

There’s also the big city charms of Boston, bustling harbour towns mixed with cute seaside villages offering some of the best seafood in New England and quaint towns with white steepled churches. Plus there’s miles of coastline to explore, with shorelines scattered with lighthouses and sweeping, sandy beaches.

The autumn is one of the most popular and busiest times to visit. During this time you can expect to see the spectacular fall colours of billions of leaves changing from green to a kaleidoscope of hues. The best time to visit to experience this is generally from mid-September through to mid-October depending on where you are in the region.

Trailfinders offers a range of holidays in New England and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore New England on a fly drive holiday, a sociable guided group tour or create amazing memories on a family holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
