Things To Do
Winslow State Park
This park has two great hiking trails up Mt. Kearsarge. One trail is a 1 mile steep and rocky climb. The other is a more winding 1.8 miles. Both will bring you to beautiful views of the New London/Sunapee area. This is also where Julia and Alex got engaged!
Rollins State Park
If you want a less strenuous hike, but the same views, Rollin’s State Park is perfect! Be prepared for a winding drive up most of the mountain, but the 0.5 mile hike is an easy trek to the same gorgeous views as Winslow State Park.
Mt Sunapee State Park
Take a swim, relax on the beach, or rent kayaks or paddle boards and take in the beauty of Lake Sunapee!
Wadleigh State Beach
This beach is a bit quieter and more secluded than Lake Sunapee. This is our family's favorite beach to relax with a book or take a long swim.
The Fells Historic Estate & Gardens
This is our wedding venue! Guests can roam the gardens, trails, and grounds for free throughout the weekend of the wedding. Feel free to take a tour of the main house to learn some history or just explore the beautiful grounds and gardens!
New London Barn Playhouse
The New London Barn Playhouse is one of the oldest theaters in the country. Plus, it’s uniquely performed in a converted historic barn! The Playhouse features musical performances performed by both Broadway actors and local up and coming artists. Check out the Playhouse schedule while you’re in town!
Mt Kearsarge Indian Museum
Plenty to learn and see here about the Native American history in New Hampshire.
Colonial Pharmacy
Not only does Julia's brother, Conor, and his girlfriend, Elyssa, work here, but it has some very cute NH memorabilia and souvenirs.
Blue Loon Bakery
Yum! Perfect place for breakfast or lunch. If Julia’s mum buys her pastries and coffee from there daily, then you know it’s good!
Bubba's Bar & Grille
Come here for some yummy food with a view of Lake Sunapee!
Sanctuary Dairy Farm Ice Cream
Some of the best ice cream around! Plus you get to look at cute farm animals while you enjoy it!
Hanover
Home to Dartmouth College, Hanover is a picture perfect New England town. With plenty of shopping and restaurants, you won't be lost on what to do here!
White Mountains
For all their travels, Julia and Alex still think the White Mountains are one of the prettiest places on Earth. There’s plenty of hiking options for some incredible views that make you feel on top of the world. Drive along the Kancamagus Highway or through the Franconia Notch for some sight seeing. Check out the quaint town of Conway, NH (and stop by Autumn Nomad in nearby Jackson, NH to see the bake shop of our caterer!) Finally, stop to eat at One Love Brewery or the Gypsy Cafe for a delicious meal in Lincoln, NH.
