Litchfield Hills, Connecticut - Great Fall Destinations

The Litchfield Hills are the rolling foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, located near the historic town of Litchfield, Connecticut. The Litchfield Hills are perfect for the fall color seekers. The small town offers everything you need with a colorful backdrop. What you will see is an amazing view of red, yellow and orange rolling over the countryside.

In the hills you can hike and bike on the many available trails that will take you up close to the fall foliage. You can also see the hills and colors by taking one of the beautiful scenic drives. "Litchfield is very beautiful in the fall because there are orange leaves, yellow leaves and red leaves, too."

Lake Waramaug is a great place to view the colors and have a fun drive. If you head north, you will see a picturesque covered bridge and in West Cornwall. The fall is also a great time to go wine-tasting in these vibrant hills. Check out Haight-Brown Vineyard, located on Chestnut Hill. Not only it is Connecticut's first established winery, but you can also get local cheeses here.

For history, architecture and great autumn views, check out Topsmead State Forest. Antiquing is also a fun activity for a fall day. The Litchfield area provides great shops downtown as well as cool places scattered outside. Now, if you are looking for a bite to eat, try a place off the beaten path called Wood's Pit Bar be Que, a Mexican Cafe. Now this is definitely the type of place you need a local to recommend for you. I am Mike Camerlengo, showing you Litchfield Hills.
