3 Perfect Reasons to Plan a Fall Getaway

Autumn is a stunning time to visit Bucks County!  Staycations became the norm for many of us when the pandemic ruined our 2020 summer vacation plans.   And although you may still be reluctant to travel too far from home, you can’t deny those feelings of “cabin fever.” Fall may be the perfect time to consider a getaway that’s not too far from home but offers a change of pace and a chance to recharge.  From hayrides and apple-picking to history and entertainment; you can find it all in Bucks County! Most of our fall activities are outdoors and some can even be enjoyed from the comfort of your vehicle.  So,  gas up the car, pack a weekender and bring your camera.
