Lighthouses Aren't the Only Reason People Found Their Way Here
New England and Eastern Canada have an unmistakable charm, history and natural beauty all of their own, and there's no better time to visit than the autumn.

Areas of Interest
Boston, Massachusetts
Known as 'the Hub' since its pre-revolutionary days as 'the Hub of Civilisation', Boston is still an exciting, vibrant city. Home to some of the world's greatest universities and colleges, there is always something happening here. It's an extremely walkable city with an easily accessible public transport system, making it easy for tourists to explore.
Bar Harbor, Maine
Charming cobblestone streets and quaint shop fronts make Bar Harbor a delightful New England holiday destination. But it's what's just down the road that makes it truly unique. Acadia National Park, just a short drive from central Bar Harbor, is a triumph of the Parks System Conservation Programme and offers a spectacular display of nature at its finest. Rocky cliffs and jagged coastline open to beautiful ocean views and stony beaches, perfect for a mouth-watering traditional Maine lobster bake.
Eastern Canada
From the bustling excitement of Halifax to the quaint, quiet pace of Saint John's, North America's oldest city, eastern Canada is a large and varied region. Echoes of Europe are visible in its charming streets and architecture. And nature is an essential part of everyday life, with hiking, white-water rafting and kayaking giving people ample opportunity to explore.
