Sightseeing The Shires of Vermont


The Shires of Vermont region truly is a Four-Season Wonderland. Want proof? Pick a view - any view. Now consider that view variously dressed in the reds, yellows and gold of autumn, the greens of spring and summer or cloaked in white for winter.

Located in Southwest Vermont, Manchester is only three hours from Boston and four hours from New York City. Each small town and village nearby offers a unique experience of people, places, and things to do.

Experience the Four Seasons of Vermont from the inside out. From the adventure of skiing down a mountainside, exploring our history, or enjoying the famed Battenkill River, the Manchester and the Mountains regional towns welcome you with all things warm and wonderful no matter what the season.

What To Do, What To See
With so much to do and see in and around Manchester, you might need help planning your day. You’ll be surprised at what you find nestled between the Green and Taconic Mountains; the diversity of our region makes us feel confident in saying we have something for everyone.

Is it Arlington’s beautiful covered bridges you’re looking for? The theatre and culture of Dorset or Weston? The exceptional hiking? The country stores and fairs? The factory outlets?

Want to try fly-fishing on our famed Battenkill River or looking for family fun at our resorts? The options are endless and no matter what you choose to do, it will be done in a gorgeous setting.

The Bennington Battle Monument and the Benington Museum just begin to scratch the surface of the many sights to see in this, one of Vermont's most historic communities.
