Sightseeing

Apple picking, gorgeous farm, site for Stone Trust, where you can see many beautiful examples of uniquely crafted dry stone walls. Stone Trust, located on the property, is also a widely respected center for teaching dry stone walling. We are 1.25 miles from Scott Farm, close enough to walk via dirt road, past Rudyard Kipling's historical former Naulakha home.

The Stone Trust is respected world-wide for dry stone building craft. They offer courses and certification for novices to advanced professionals. The property has many beautiful and unique examples of dry stone constructions that you can walk around and look at. This is on the same property as Scott Farm Orchards, so you can see both in one stop. Web site: https://thestonetrust.org/

Diner that locals have loved for a long time. Comfort food. Especially great for breakfast. In summer, they make great ice cream. Must pay cash.

This is upscale, and awesome food (though still in a comfy and relaxed setting), around $50 per entree, that would cost 2x for the same quality elsewhere. The place is quite small inside, with few tables and it's best to get a reservation. https://tjbuckleysuptowndining.com/

Surprising good selection of fresh produce during winter, often includes greens, and always many types of root veggies. Also bread, chocolate and other locally made goodies. Nice ambience, always has a local musician playing. Every Saturday 10-2.

Fun atmosphere, full of motorcycles. They have a gorgeous copper pizza oven for thin-crust wood-fired pizza, and their other menu items are also good. Tables are pretty close together. Currently our favorite place. The parking lot has EV chargers.

Beautiful views of the area from the summit. Not an easy climb, 1-3 hours each way depending on how fit you are and which trails you choose. It is about 45 minutes away from our place.

This is 2-3 hour hike round trip, depending on which of two trails you take. Easy to medium level difficulty. The trailhead is a 5-minute drive from downtown. Cross the river into New Hampshire from Canal Street, near the corner of Main St. Take the first left after crossing the bridge, and the trailhead is about a minute away. From some high points on the trail you can see the town of Brattleboro from a lovely vantage point. Good for warm weather hiking as well as snow shoeing. https://www.trailfinder.info/trails/trail/mount-wantastiquet-state-forest

สัมภาระที่ควรเตรียม

For winter hiking, bring cleats for heavy boots.

There are big and small trails all over the place. If you don't have snow or ice cleats to attach to your boots, you can buy them at Burroughs Sports downtown on Main Street.
