Things To Do
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve

New Hope Ferry Market
One of the newer spots in New Hope - and not a single subpar vendor in the place. Our personal favorites are the Pork Shack (get the Almost Famous or French Pig sando!), The Vegan Butcher (Bahn mis!), and Sciascia Confections (a great splurge for some sweet, sweet goodies). OPEN Mon 8am-6pm, Wed 8am-7pm, Thurs 8am-7pm, Fri 8am-9pm, Sat 9am-9pm, and Sun 9am-7pm. Please check individual vendor hours on their website too so you can plan your visit accordingly!

Delaware Canal Trail
Lucky enough to use (Mama Fox) Sydney's house as a drop-in point into the water, Key and Adam have spent many hours on the canal together over the years. Walking, running, biking, fishing, kayaking - it's all golden along this beautiful path splitting the canal and Delaware River.
Stockton Market
An incredibly adorable spot to drop by for a visit. Filled with local artisans, the Stockton Market is a year-round, indoor community market ready and waiting for you to enjoy. Vendors range from mouth-watering confections and pastries to the freshest locally grown produce, textiles, one-of-a-kind trinkets, and more. Only about a five minute drive from downtown New Hope!

Key's elementary school (Buckingham Friends School which is located at the south end of the village) used to take lots of walking field trips here.
Giggleberry Fair
Giggleberry Fair is an indoor play scape for family fun, birthday parties, & events. Boasting an incredible obstacle course, carousel, arcade, and more! An amazing place to visit with the kiddos :)

The main crops are Apples, Peaches, and Blueberries, with smaller acreage of Pears, Plums, Apricots, Cherries, and Blackberries. Customers can shop at the Market from late June through March to purchase what is currently in season. Pick-Your-Own is also available during Apple, Cherry, and Blueberry seasons. Best applesauce and cider ever. EVER.
Bucks County River Country
In town for a long weekend? Feeling the heat? Go get in the water! Bucks County River Country has been on the banks of the Delaware river for 52 Years. They rent kayaks, canoes, rafts, and river tubes for all your water activity desires. Open from Mid-May through October, the river trips are for all ages and group sizes. Standard activities are from about 2-4 hours. Custom trips are available. Who remembers when we borrowed the inflatable floating island raft from the 1740 House and went down the river with loaded coolers and all? Anyone up for a repeat?! :)

Tyler State Park
Tyler State Park is a Pennsylvania state park on 1,711 acres in Newtown and Northampton Townships, Bucks County, PA. Park roads, trails, and facilities are carefully nestled within the original farm and woodland setting. It is a beautiful and amazing spot to go hiking and fishing. Ask Adam for fishing deets :) Have fun!
Lake Nockamixon
Lake Nockamixon is a reservoir in southeastern PA, and the largest lake in Bucks County. It is formed by a dam on Tohickon Creek and is the centerpiece of Nockamixon State Park. Swimming is not allowed in the lake, but boating is popular. It's also another one of Key & Adam's favorite fishing and hiking spots! Ask Adam for the hidden honey holes for fishing :)
