New England is located in the Northeastern United States and is a region rich in history and diverse geography. Comprising six states - Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut - it’s best best-known for its scenic landscapes, ranging from rugged coastlines and picturesque villages to dense forests and rolling hills. One of the corners of the continent to be settled by Europeans, the region played a pivotal role in early American history, from the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts to its influential participation in the American Revolution.
New England has managed to retain much of its historical charm, particularly in its many attractive small towns, most of which are perfect for exploring on foot. From charming Newport, Rhode Island, renowned for its historic mansion and scenic waterfront, to Portsmouth in New Hampshire, famous for its well-preserved colonial, each of these six most walkable towns in New England is waiting to be wandered.
