2 Bucks County Towns Among Pennsylvania's 'Most Dreamy' To Visit

BUCKS COUNTY, PA - Two Bucks County towns have been named among the 11 Most Dreamy Towns in Pennsylvania “that are too beautiful to ignore.”

New Hope Borough and Doylestown are at the top of the list, which was compiled by Traveller’s Elixir, a travel blog with millions of yearly readers that spotlights travel guides and travel information.

“Whether you’re drawn to artsy downtowns, outdoor adventures, or simply a peaceful escape, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you,” writes Dianne for Traveller’s Elixir.

The article describes New Hope as “a cute riverside town on the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border, packed with artsy boutiques, historic inns, and a seriously cool theater scene.

“It’s famous for the Bucks County Playhouse, where legends like Robert Redford and Grace Kelly once performed, plus the vintage train rides at New Hope Railroad.

“The streets are lined with shops and antique stores, while the food scene shines with cozy cafés, riverside restaurants, and even a haunted pub.

“If you like scenic views, the nearby Delaware Canal towpath is ideal for biking or strolling and features picture-perfect bridges.”

The article then transitions to Doylestown, the “second most dreamiest” town on its list.

“Just miles from New Hope, Doylestown has a totally different feel — think grand castles, indie bookshops, and a museum scene that punches way above its weight.

“This town is home to three architectural marvels, including the Fonthill Castle, built by Henry Mercer, who basically designed his own fairytale fortress.

“The Mercer Museum is packed with incredible artifacts from early American life, while the Michener Art Museum next door showcases stunning regional art.”

Other communities making the list in Pennsylvania are Ambler, Strasburg, Lititz, Jim Thorpe, Lewisburg, Wellsboro, Coudersport, Bedford, and Ligonier.
