Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book based on the publishers blurb in Amazon.
This is an unfortunate demonstration of the major pitfall of buying books from Amazon. If I had looked at the book in a bookstore I would never have purchased it, I sincerely doubt anyone would. The book is poorly executed primarily in its index or rather series of indexes which are set out so to make as little practical sense as possible.
I will never be able to tell you what is in the book because it cannot be found. It is a frustrating exercise simply leafing through it because the index is no help. Perhaps if I was intimately acquainted with New England I may have some idea where to look in the book so as I could find what I was after. If I did, why would I be buying a travel guide?
I will stick to the DK's Eyewitness Travel guides from now on at least I can find stuff in it.

Hidden guides combine unique travel choices, outdoor adventures and little-known locales into a guide where vacations meet adventures. Each guide includes detailed maps, complete internet information for each listing, highlighted author favorites, suggested itineraries and walking and driving tours. Hidden New England is written for the new generation of back-road explorers who are driving through this six-state region with very personal intentions. Understanding that the modern traveler isn't looking to be herded to the same beach or mountain resort as everyone else, Hidden New England focuses on the little hotels, restaurants, and shops (including 30 antique stores) that define this always-independent region. Its recommended lodging options include 209 country inns, 43 cabins, and even 87 campgrounds. Hidden New England reveals the area's history at 17 Revolutionary War sites and 100 historic "American" castles and estates. Spectacular natural spots are revealed, including fall-foliage viewing in 179 parks, beaches, and wilderness areas, as well as 224 hiking and 83 cycling trails. A special section on lighthouses leads to 11 of the area's most interesting. This edition features 58 maps.
