What are The Shires ?

www . ExploreTheShires . com
A picturesque New England region nestled in the Southwesternmost corner of Vermont , the geographic designation may be Bennington County but in recent years residents and visitors alike have come to affectionately call this area , The Shires of Southwestern Vermont .
This beautiful region between the Taconic and Green Mountains has the unusual distinction of having two “ shire ” towns , traditionally referred to as county seats . Anchored by Bennington , the South Shire , and Manchester , the North Shire , the region is a collective of 15 quintessential Vermont towns and villages connected by a scenic ribbon of highway known as Historic Route 7A ( now the Shires of Vermont Byway ).
Surrounded by Vermont ’ s famous mountain range and enriched by the many waterways including the Battenkill and Walloomsac , The Shires of Vermont is world-renowned as a four-season destination for those seeking the authentic Vermont experience .
Already united by a common sense of place , history and culture , the region also possesses abundant recreational resources , a proud agricultural heritage and a robust entrepreneurial spirit . A wide range of culinary , lodging and shopping experiences await curious travelers along our highways , byways , country roads , on mountainsides and busy Main Streets .
The people of The Shires of Vermont look forward to welcoming you to this place we call home .
