White Memorial Conservation Center

Reviewed By Nancy S - South Berwick, Maine

The boardwalk after walking a little trail to get to it off the road is well worth the hike. White Memorial is such a beautiful, peaceful, soulful visit as you walk around the waters edge, taking in spectacular views from every vantage point. Photographers come in and set up their tripods and click away. People either walk the entire boardwalk by themselves, reflecting the beginning or the end of the day, solitude or with a friend. Some bring their dogs on a leash and enjoy the brisk walk, either way, whatever your preference is, it is well worth the visit of this little jewel in Litchfield.

The wine servers inside were friendly and informative, they even told us about a distillery down the road. We enjoyed the wines quite a bit and...MoreThank you so very much Denise for taking time to review Sunset Meadow Vineyards and give us 5 stars.

Reviewed By kppr - Woodbury, Connecticut

With small screens and uncomfortable seating, it is outrageous that they charge $12 for a matinee! What would be quaint, if mildly inconvenient (like parking difficulties, slow service, etc.), becomes annoying when paying such a high price. At the very least, a senior discount would...MoreI am sorry to hear about your experience.

Reviewed By RidingGirl - Newton, Massachusetts

I'd like to tell everyone how wonderful this place is, but then I'd be letting out a big secret! This past weekend I found a dry sink, two (Moroccan style) side tables in faux leather - blue and yellow, a painting and a bracelet. There is a lot of turnover, so you never know what you'll come across. I just wish I lived closer although my wallet might disagree. Rob, the proprietor, is knowledgeable and very nice. He and a colleague brought the furniture out and loaded it in my car. The prices are great and you're sure to find something you didn't even know you needed!

Topsmead State Forest

Reviewed By samuel33 - connecticut

I have lived locally for all my life and never knew this place existed. We went for an approximate two mile walk round trip. There is much more area to explore on the next trip to this beautiful place. It seems to be relatively easy walking. I really liked it. The only thing I didn't like was the horse manure we had to step to avoid. There was so much on the road that my companion asked if horses did anything other than poop. Luckily there were plenty of other areas where the horses hadn't been. They appeared to have only been where there were signs posted "no horses".
