Boston/Cape Cod Massachusetts Site no: NE011

At a Glance

The quiet countryside setting here, 15 miles west of Plymouth, makes a good hub for exploring history-rich south-eastern Massachusetts and your hosts make it easy. They’ll shuttle you to a commuter train for a quick ride to Boston, sparing you big-city driving. The staff also offer information for visiting Boston, Plymouth and Hyannis, home of the Kennedy Compound. Near Plymouth Rock, you’ll learn about 17th-century pilgrim life at the living history Plimoth Plantation. You’ll find lots of good seafood restaurants and shops in the area. And after a great day of sightseeing, head back for a swim in our heated swimming pool. The parc also offers basketball, volleyball and other organised activities and there are family cycle paths in the area so you can take advantage of the bike hire.

Attractions

Pilgrim Memorial State Park (Plymouth Rock)

Make your own pilgrimage to the place where the Mayflower landed. At the smallest state park in Massachusetts, you will find the 'simple glacial boulder' that has become a world famous symbol.

Plimoth Plantation

Costumed 'colonists' give visitors a glimpse of colonial life from the 17th century plantation life. Board a full-scale replica of the Mayflower to imagine what the journey may have been like. General admission covers all exhibits and may be used for two consecutive days, allowing to see the entire museum.

Mayflower II

Wonderful replica of the ship that carried Pilgrims to the New World. Interpreters portray actual passengers and crew.

Cape Cod

The 'Cape' (as the locals call it) offers stunningly beautiful beaches, a wildlife sanctuary, quaint shops, wooded bicycle paths, cranberry bogs, lobster dinners and so much more.

Boston/Freedom Trail

This 2.5 mile red brick trail leads you to 16 nationally significant historical sites including the Old North Church where a lantern once warned Paul Revere 'The British are coming!' Also on the trail is the U.S.S. Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat. To get to the Freedom Trail, take our complimentary shuttle from the campground to the commuter rail, which will lead you right into downtown Boston.

Red Sox Nation

Fans of the great American pastime won't want to miss a visit to Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox and the oldest operating major league baseball park in the country.

Harvard Square

Just across the Charles River from Boston is Cambridge, home to M.I.T. and Harvard. Harvard Square offers a quirky mix of old New England plus hip shops and restaurants.

Yankee Whale Watching

What began as research for local colleges has evolved into the most successful whale watching tour in the area. Four staff scientists are aboard each trip.
