Talk to Me About: What new and improved tourism products are being developed in Bucks County that will enhance the visitor’s experience.

My Favorite Place in Bucks County: If I have to pick just one spot, I'd say the stretch of the Delaware Canal Towpath Trail between Yardley and New Hope! It’s my favorite setting for a family outing or day date with my husband. We will often grab our bikes and head toward the access point in Yardley just off Canal Street where there is plenty of parking to ditch our car for the day. From there, it’s an easy and picturesque 12-miles north to New Hope filled with abundant wildlife, stunning architecture, living history and other outdoor enthusiasts. Once we reach New Hope, we like to spend a few hours grabbing lunch, relaxing and strolling through the many boutiques before cruising back. No matter how many times we go, there are always new surprises around every bend.

Insider Tip: Kick off the holiday season at the ‘Dashin’ thru the… Lights’ 2-mile run/walk at Shady Brook Farm for a fun and unique way to experience the impressive Holiday Light Show. Complete the night by popping inside The Stone’s Throw pub to warm up with a much-deserved locally crafted ale from one of Bucks County’s many breweries.
