It’s May in New England! Spring flowers are blooming and the snow is almost gone. It’s a great time of year for road trips, shopping, dining, and evening entertainment.
With spring rains and snow melt, waterfalls are spectacular right now. Here are some particularly beautiful destinations, all good day trips from the Lyme Inn! Touring covered bridges is also a great way to explore the region, now through the fall. Check out bridges in New Hampshire and Vermont. There’s one right here in Lyme and several others only a short distance away.
