New Hampshire makes a wonderful backdrop for a family holiday! It’s a great destination for lovers of adventure and the great outdoors, with plenty to both do and see. You can climb Mount Washington (or take the steam-powered cog railway instead); visit colonial era towns; fish, sail or canoe in the Lakes Region; hike or bike in the White Mountain National Forest or the Franconia Notch State Park; appreciate the spectacular seasonal scenery, or enjoy the hearty cuisine. There’s also a wealth of family-friendly accommodation: charming, historic inns are common, as are rural retreats and grand luxury resorts, but we've also discovered great value hotels, and some wonderfully welcoming options in the big centres of Concord — the state capital — Exeter, Manchester, or the coastal town of Portsmouth.
