FOXHILL - HOLIDAY HOME

STOWE, VERMONT, USA

Vermont is one of the six states of New England. It is sparsely populated and has virtually no industry, so it remains an unspoilt rural community. It is famed for its dairy cattle, which outnumber the population and provide ‘Ben & Jerry’s’ with milk for their ice cream. Most of the countryside is forest covered hills and mountains with crystal lakes, fast running rivers and streams in the valleys. The picturesque towns and villages spread throughout the state remain today as they were 100 years ago, with their lapboard houses, covered bridges and quaint byways. Montpelier is the Capitol.

Stowe lies to the north of the state and is the major holiday and recreation centre. Famed for its pleasant Summers, Autumn foliage and Winter snow, it is the home of the Von Trappe family (of Sound of Music fame) who settled in Vermont after touring America as a singing group after the War. They found the countryside in Vermont very like Austria with its lakes, trees, mountains and pure fresh air. They established the first cross-country skiing trails in America.

Summer in Stowe is delightful, and “Fall in Vermont” is among the wonders of America. During this magical time the leaves change to almost unbelievable shades of colour. The restaurants and attractions on offer are what are expected of this famous New England all season holiday area.
