Beautiful rolling meadows surrounded by hills treasured by cross-country skiers, the central area of the Northeast Kingdom [1] encompasses the towns of Lyndonville, Craftsbury, Burke, and Glover. You’ll find an unusual number of covered bridges in the historic area, not to mention neatly manicured common greens in every town.
This is quiet living at its most content, with backcountry roads that just cry out for a long, relaxed road trip to the middle of nowhere.
