This fully revised and updated third edition of "The Rough Guide to New England" uncovers one of America's most popular and historic regions, from the colonial villages of Vermont to the ski slopes of New Hampshire and the chic restaurants of Boston. There is informed coverage on where to hike, ski, bike, camp and explore the outdoors, from the costal resorts of Newport and Nantucket to the northern reaches of the Appalachian Trail. The guide also provides critical reviews of the best places to eat, drink and sleep, to suit any budget. Alongside, there are evocative extracts from great New England literature - by Thoreau, Lovecraft and Sebastian Junger.
