What better place to start a short tour of New England and New York than Boston?
Walkable and wonderful. My base was the Godfrey Hotel which was ideally located in the central Downtown Crossing area – a pedestrianised zone full of shops as well as being the hub of the jewellery industry.
Strolling on the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail through Boston is a joy, with so many key attractions contained within a very short distance and historic buildings which tell the story of America’s birth seemingly on every corner.
