Where are some beautiful places in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire is an absolutely beautiful state, both to live in and to visit. If you’re a fan of scenic drives, you can’t miss out on driving the amazing Mount Washington Auto Road, which seriously might just be the most scenic drive in the entire state. It’s just 7.6 miles, but you’ll remember it forever. If you’re ever in Waterville Valley, you need to visit Sabbaday Falls; it’s easily one of the most beautiful, enchanting places in all of New England, and best of all, it’s a very brief hike to get to it. We recommend going early in the day on a weekday to see it with the least crowding. Speaking of waterfalls, if you ever visit Franconia Notch State Park, you absolutely have to check out the paradise known as flume gorge; it’s home to more than one waterfall and it’s incredibly photogenic.

What are the best towns in New Hampshire to live in?
Let’s be real here: all of New Hampshire is absolutely awesome. However, there are lots of little towns that seem to come up again and again as the “best” ones to live in, though, of course, the term “best” is subjective. According to Niche.com, a website that takes into account things like cost of living, crime rates, resident satisfaction, and even resident reviews, the five best towns in New Hampshire right now are Madbury, Amherst, Bedford, Portsmouth, and coming in with first place is the always charming town of Hanover, one of the safest towns in New Hampshire. Each has a relatively small population (under 25,000 for all) and plenty of natural splendor all over to enjoy. No matter where you go, however, you’re bound to fall in love; New Hampshire – and New England – is truly to die for.
