It just finished raining here in Southeastern Connecticut...
This Monday through Thursday October 16th through the 19th should be a great time to visit the "Quiet Corner" of Connecticut and South...
Coming in on Route 169 from Massachusetts (Southbound and off the major highway...) will take you through Sturbridge, MA, Woodstock CT, past Thompson and North Grosvenordale, into Pomfret, which will have the best Foliage for the week. If you're antiquing or an architecture buff... these will be "must stops"... If you just want foliage... keep going south and get on country Route 44 (East) to connect with historic Route 12 in Putnam.
Route 12 will take you through the small New England towns of Brooklyn, Canterbury and Lisbon. Then, continuing on rural Route 12, it will take you into Norwich, Ledyard, Gales Ferry then Groton (Where they make the Submarines...
This last leg takes you down the rural highway the runs along the east side of the Thames River and into New London.
Southern New England offers some great foliage peeking and once you are on the shore... Terrific New England Seafood...!
Worcester Mass to New London Connecticut, only takes about two and a half hours to travel on the back roads via Rts. 169, Rt. 44 and Rt. 12...
It's the best way to see the Foliage and Old New England!
Then, for your ride back North, you could head over to Rhode Island and Back North on
