> Bring swimsuits, one of New England's hidden wonders is just 0.5 miles up the road. Swim to, under and inside Bartlett's Falls. Or perhaps a tube on Circle current, or a jump off Eagle's nest is to your liking. No fees, just park your car off the pavement.
>
> Bristol bakery offer bagels, bread and tortes with decent coffee. Bristol Cliffs diner is worth a visit. The Bobcat Cafe offers bistro food and designer beer brewed by their sister cafe in Brattleboro. A health food store, beeswax candle shop, gallery of local craft artisans, and a head shop offering Nepali clothes.
