DINING hotel or pack a picnic-to-go from one of our mom-and-pop markets . In summer and fall , come for the Garlic and Herb Festival or the Manchester Food & Wine Classic . The Winter Home-Brew Festival has also become a fan favorite .

If you want to explore The Shires on your own , road-trip the Shires Scenic Byway ( also known as Route 7A )! Take in the scenery and stop every so often to have a Vermont maple Creemee or browse the offerings at a vegetable or orchard stand , take a back road without knowing where you ’ re going . The Shires are bounded on both sides by mountains ; you ’ ll find your way back . Why not get out of the car and take a hike ? In fact , you can work up an appetite , knowing that a superb way to satisfy it is as close as the nearest town .
