Get Outdoors!
The options for enjoying the outdoors in the Litchfield County seem almost limitless, but if you have to choose, the segment of the Appalachian Trail that runs through Salisbury and Kent is a great place to start. Look for the trailhead just north of Salisbury on Route 41. A 5½-mile hike north from there will bring you to the impressive view from atop Bear Mountain. Dennis Hill State Park and Haystack Mountain State Park, both in Norfolk, also offer up memorable outlooks via short, semi-easy...

Lunch
Located on the village green in Litchfield, the West Street Grill is a lunch and dinner favorite of local celebrities, and for good reason: Quality local ingredients are the stars of the ever-evolving New American menu, which features creative takes on classic dishes and memorable soups. Washington Depot favorite The Pantry is as good as it gets for salads and sandwiches that are perfect for taking on the go (but just as good over wine in the quaint café), and homemade pie for dessert is an e...
Dinner
In 2015, Yankee named Arethusa al Tavolo in Litchfield the best spot for “big-city dining in cow country,” and it’s an honor equally deserved today. Dishes are prepared with prime ingredients, including dairy delights from Arethusa’s famously pampered cows. If you don’t have time for a full meal, you can still grab some cheese for the road at the Arethusa Farm Dairy Store next door, where the ice cream is as fresh — and as delicious — as possible. Another Yankee favorite is Community Table in...
Take-Home Treats
Bring home the bacon, and the ham, and the sausage — even the cheese, trout, and venison, if they’re in stock — from Nodine’s Smokehouse in Goshen; the retail store is tiny but the flavor is big-time. Hardcore Sweet in Watertown (a Cupcake Warswinner in 2013) offers more than 150 flavors of cupcakes, truffles, “ponuts” (a pie-doughnut combo), and whoopie pies, including vegan and gluten-free options.
The Mayflower Inn & Spain Washington offers 25 antiques-decorated rooms and suites, plus several cottages scattered around the property. As a bonus, the formal dining room and more relaxed taproom are among the region’s best dining options. The White Hart in Salisbury, another Yankee favorite, is a classic 19th-century country inn complete with a w...
