Your lovely Inkeepers would be happy to recommend activities which will enhance your stay, from schooner sailing to lobster tours, galleries and museums. Goat Island lighthouse is situated off Cape Porpoise and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in New England. The tower was built in 1833 to serve as a beacon light for mariners. When President George H.W. Bush took the office starting 1989 to 1993, the lighthouse served as a watchtower for some of his Secret Service agents. The Walker’s Point Estate is conveniently visible when viewed from the top of the tower.
Head inland to the White Mountains and The Christmas Farm Inn.
Covered Bridges of the White Mountains
The Covered Bridges of the White Mountains are an integral part of the landscape and a place to wait out a summer shower or steal a kiss or watch raging river waters swollen by the melting winter snows. Covered Bridges were often called "courting bridges." Their distinctive shapes form a signature for New Hampshire. Why the first covered bridges were built has been obscured by time. Some say that horses were more comfortable crossing an enclosed span than an open trestle. Others point to the fact that a bridge lasts longer if its heavy timbers are protected.
There are tonnes of hiking and walking trails in the area so do seek out advice from the Inn workers on what would work best for your abilities. There are many waterfalls in the area so make sure you don't miss out!
Mount Washington Cog Railway
This historic Cog Railway up to the summit of majestic Mt. Washington is a great adventure for passengers of all ages. The colourful trains are powered by biodiesel or steam locomotives, traveling 5 mph past forests, ravines, wildlife (including the occasional moose or bear) and through three climate zones to reach the breathtaking summit. There, on top of the Northeast’s tallest peak, you can explore an interactive weather exhibit or look out over the mountains from the rooftop observation deck. You can also send a post card from the summit post office. Travelers will enjoy the commentary from train engineers and brakemen and brakewomen. Parking is free, and there are food courts or cafeterias at both ends of your exciting journey. Trains operate from late April through November.
