Other Local Attractions

Our little corner of New England is rich in history with many historic attractions nearby. Amesbury is know as the Carriage Capital of the World and it is worth a visit. Be careful, you might want to stay.

Newburyport to the east is also worth a visit, if you have time. It boasts a wonderful pedestrian-centered downtown with lovely shops and waterfront.

Salisbury also offers a fun beach and amusement center for those who need to balance the pastoral of Cider Hill with a bit more excitement for the family.

Plum Island boasts popular beaches and a National Wildlife refuge. It is one of the top 3 spots in the nation for bird watching.

We enjoy living and shopping locally. Here we have a few of our own favorite places nearby which you might like to spend a visit with.
