Vermont Day Trips
The Best of The Best Vermont Day Trips for you to enjoy
There are several excellent self-guided day trip itineraries from West Hill House B&B, taking in the attractions, scenery and great produce that Vermont has to offer. Our suggestions are the Col and Waterfall Tour, the Covered Bridges and Culinary Tour, the Monuments and the Quarry they came from tour, and the Vermont Cheese Tour that you design yourself – see the highlights below.

Listen to our guest expound about how easy Peter has made these Vermont day trips to follow!
It is rare that you have the chance to see a raw material like granite being quarried—in this case at the Rock of Ages quarry—then see one of the best examples of its use in monuments so close together.
While visiting a cemetery may sound like a strange thing to do, you will realize after you have been to Hope Cemetery why we are recommending it. This trip to nearby Barre will both interest and amaze you! (Summer only for the quarry.)
Our beautiful state makes LOTS of cheese, and lots of varieties as well. While large operations like Cabot are well known, deservedly so for all their award-winning products, there are dozens of small producers, many of whom welcome visitors.
Given the diversity, and as everyone’s interests differ, we leave you to plan your own day trip based on the excellent guest journal by our guests Laurent and Julia, and by consulting the Vermont Cheese Map.
