About New Hampshire

Small but bewitchingly scenic, New Hampshire is a wonderful state for lovers of history and the great outdoors. With landscapes ranging from jagged mountains to forest-fringed lakes, the region brims with opportunities for adventure. And there are fascinating colonial-era towns, too! Accommodation options include intimate historic inns, romantic lakeside hotels and family-friendly mountain resorts, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. The best places to stay in New Hampshire are heritage properties with heaps of character — brilliant for couples, families, pet-lovers, or groups of friends travelling together.

Head north to White Mountain National Forest or the Franconia Notch State Park for hiking, mountain biking and berry-picking in the summer months, beautiful autumnal scenery and skiing or snowshoeing aplenty during the winter. Climb Mount Washington, the region’s highest peak, or take the steam-powered cog railway to its summit for impressive views. New Hampshire’s landscapes are gorgeous — the Great North Woods and Pawtuckaway State Park are particular highlights. Towards the centre of the state, you’ll find the Lakes Region. Ideal for tranquil escapes, this area is known for its great fishing, canoeing, sailing and boat trips. Explore the islands of Lake Winnipesaukee, kayak the waters of Squam Lake and visit lovely Holderness.

For top-notch food, museums and other cultural attractions, base yourself in Concord — the state capital — Exeter or Manchester. The coastal town of Portsmouth is sure to be a big hit with history buffs!

Whether you’re eager to delve into the past, to taste hearty New England fare or to hide away amidst striking scenery, New Hampshire has it all. Many of the best places to stay fill up fast during the summer months, so book you trip well in advance.
