Bucks County is a scenic spot, featuring everything from farmland and historic sites to lively towns with eclectic attractions, and there are many great places to explore, writes Denise Hartwell for the Northeast Times. 

Peddler’s Village is one of the county’s most popular destinations, featuring an array of shops and restaurants. Candle stores, fudge spots, and jewelry sellers provide shoppers with unique places to grab a gift for a friend or loved one.  

Outdoor sites like the Delaware Canal Towpath Trail and Nockamixon State Park offer opportunities for leisurely walks, with miles of trails and gorgeous views. Nockamixon also has boat and kayak rentals for those looking to spend a day out on the lake. 

Washington Crossing Historic Park is another great outdoor attraction to check out, with picnic areas, historic buildings, and trails along the river. The park’s annual reenactments take visitors back in time to witness the famous Delaware River Christmas crossing led by George Washington. 

New Hope, a wonderfully charming borough, is filled with countless restaurants and boutiques. The Bucks County Playhouse offers theatrical entertainment, and just across the river, Lambertville boasts its own artistic hub.  

Rice’s Market, located in New Hope, is a can’t-miss spot for flea market fans, featuring tables of goodies waiting to be sorted through.
