The Fells - Historic Estate and Gardens on Lake Sunapee The Fells is one of New England's finest examples of an early 20th-century summer estate, with outstanding gardens. Stroll the length of a 100-foot perennial border, and admire the view of Lake Sunapee from the formal Rose Terrace. A brook trickles to a Japanese water lily pool in the hillside rock garden, which includes a nationally significant collection of alpine and native plants. Hidden behind masses of rhododendron, a walled "secret" garden awaits discovery.

The 164-acre estate includes Colonial Revival buildings; the Main House, which is open for historic tours Memorial Day through Columbus Day. Hiking trails that border Lake Sunapee are open year-round.

Located in Newbury, New Hampshire, on the shores of Lake Sunapee, The Fells was the summer retreat for three generations of the Hay family: Secretary of State John M. Hay, who also served as private secretary to Abraham Lincoln; Clarence Hay, a noted archaeologist, who developed the gardens with his wife, Alice Appleton Hay; and nature writer John Hay. Now the estate is open to the public and protected as a wildlife refuge with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The Fells is a short drive from the Colby Hill Inn in Henniker, New Hampshire.

Covered bridges are a unique feature of the New England landscape. Originally built out of necessity rather than quaint structures, they transport you back to the days of horse & buggy.  New England's covered bridges span time and progress, linking more than just the opposite banks of a river.

There are more covered bridges per square mile in Vermont and Hew Hampshire than any other place in the world, with 166 authentic covered bridges located throughout these two States.

Start your Covered Bridge Experience with any of the three participating Passport Inns. Each will be able to help you optimize your travel routes to see our exceptional scenery and as many of our beloved bridges as your time and interest allows.

Our suggested drives from one inn to the other will also introduce more Covered Bridges as they carry you on your way.

A single night with each inn will acquaint you with a minimum of 10 - 20 bridges. Spend a second night with all of us and you can be guaranteed the opportunity to double that fun with twice the number of bridges! Obviously the choice of how to invest your time is yours; collect more bridge sightings or concentrate your excitement by spending quality time with a fewer structures.
