Peddler's Village is a storybook village with tons of shopping, dining, and lodging available! At the beginning of November, they have their annual Apple Festival - celebrating apple season in Bucks County since 1973!
Right on the border of NJ and PA, New Hope offers a wide variety of shops, riverside dining, cultural attractions, and a historic theater! There's an art gallery or antique store on practically every corner. Tori's favorite shop to poke around in is Love Saves the Day - there's always something new to look at. Feeling adventurous? Try a leisurely bike ride down the Delaware Canal, or cross the bridge to head into Lambertville! There's something for everyone in New Hope, and everyone is welcome.
Admist all the wedding excitement, take some time to stop and smell the flowers - literally! Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve offers over 4 miles of trails that wind through forests and meadows, and features over 700 native plant species. Peak fall foliage reveals swathes of reds, oranges, and burnt yellows, and their visitor center has plenty of spaces dedicated for birdwatching. If sightseeing is more up your alley, check out the Bowman's Hill Tower, which stands at 125-feet tall and gives an incredible view of the Delaware River.
This is one of the potential venues we were looking at! (But keep that a secret!) A beautiful castle right in the center of Doylestown, they offer guided tours throughout the entire property. Every room is unique, with individual hand-crafted, painted tiles adorning the available spaces - it's not something you can see anywhere else.
If you've made it this far down our little list, congratulations! This is a Tori recommended spot (if you couldn't tell). Our wedding may be just after spooky season, but that doesn't mean it's not included! Sink your teeth into this spine-tingling museum, just a few minutes away from Fonthill Castle.
