Day 1-3
Arrive in Boston
Boston is New England’s largest city and there is so much to explore. Take the Freedom Trail which extends 2.5 miles from the start of Boston Common and passes by some 16 of the city’s historic landmarks including Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere’s home, the Old Church and the USS Constitution in Boston Harbour. Visit pretty Boston Common, America’s oldest public park and absorb all the delightful sights and smells in colourful Quincy Market. No visit to Boston is complete without a visit to at least one pub – our favourite is the Solas Irish Bar at the Lenox Hotel, which boasts an incredible Chicken Hot Pie.
Day 4
Boston to Salisbury Beach, 42 miles
After picking up your motorhome, start your New England road trip by heading north. Why not stop at Lexington, where the first skirmish started the Revolutionary War, or nearby Salem, home to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692?
Day 5
Salisbury Beach to Bar Harbor, 235 miles
Your next destination takes in the dramatic and scenic Atlantic coastline of Maine. Bar Harbor, on Mount Desert Island, is surrounded by the cliffs and seascapes of Acadia National Park. Visit Eagle Lake National Park or simply take in the views of the Acadia National Park. End your day with some spectacular New England Clam Chowder.
Day 6
Bar Harbor to Mount Blue State Park, 160 miles
Today, set off for Maine’s capital, Bangor, and then onto your next destination - the Mount Blue State Park and its campground. The area is inhabited by moose, red squirrels, black bear and coyote. Visit picturesque Webb Beach and nearby Center Hill.
Day 7
Mount Blue State Park to Bethlehem, 100 miles
As you cross into New Hampshire, the mountains get higher with Mount Washington dominating the scenery at 6,288 feet. You can visit its summit on the 1869 coal-fired cog railway. Stop overnight at the Beech Hill Campground near Bethlehem.
Day 8
Bethlehem to Gifford Woods State Park, 125 miles
After crossing into Vermont, you will approach the year-round resort surrounding Killington Peak. There’s a lot to see and do here before moving on to the suggested overnight campsite in one of the state parks, such as Gifford Woods or Ricker Pond State Park.
Day 9
Gifford Woods State Park to Arlington, 60 miles
Probably no one captured the golden age of Americana more memorably than painter and illustrator Norman Rockwell. Many of the covers he created for the Saturday Evening Post in the 40s and 50s were painted at home in Arlington, Vermont. Be sure to visit the Norman Rockwell Exhibition.
Day 10
Arlington to Mystic, 193 miles
Continue your discovery of New England by driving to the quintessential and maritime New England village of Mystic Seaport. This once great port and shipyard for fast clipper and naval ships has the wonderful Mystic Seaport Museum. As one of America’s leading maritime museums, it covers over 19 acres complete with a working shipyard, a recreated New England coastal village and over 500 historic watercraft vessels.
Day 11-12
Mystic to Sandwich, 116 miles
Today, make the short drive to Newport, Rhode Island, America’s smallest state and to the summer resort of America’s first millionaires. Explore Newport’s restored waterfront and visit the city’s extravagant mansions. Drive further east once again returning into Massachusetts, taking a rewarding stop at South Shore Beach and historical Little Compton, before taking Highway 6 passing through pretty New England villages, to Sandwich, the oldest town in Cape Cod for a two-night stay.
Day 13
Sandwich to Plymouth, 19 miles
Visit the Kennedy family’s hometown of Hyannis and the John F. Kennedy Museum before heading north towards Plymouth, where the Mayflower landed the Pilgrims in 1620. Just south is Plimoth Patuxet - a complex of living history museums founded in 1947. Formerly Plimoth Plantation, it replicates the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony established in the 17th century by the English colonists who became known as the Pilgrims.
Day 14
Homeward Bound
Your vacation is coming to an end, and it is time to return to the airport for your homebound flight.
