5.0 Alderbrook Farm (27 reviews)

5.0 Lloyd Center for the Environment (12 reviews)
- Beautiful location for outdoor activities - kids & adults!
Educational sites

This is a beautiful area - 82 acres overlooking Buzzard's Bay. You can visit for free - many hiking trails. They also have canoe's & kayaks (not sure if those are free). They also have many scheduled programs for kids which have a minimal cost as well as programs they run with local schools and kids groups. I visited with a group of my friends and we had a guided canoe trip visiting the nesting osprey, seeing a family ducks and many other birds. We picnic'd on the beach and then returned to the center. Our guide (Erica) was fantastic - she even squeezed a little horseshoe crab lesson with a few kids we passed on the beach (so fun to watch them). It was very reasonably priced ($25 per person for non-members) - especially since you could have visited and hiked for free! It was a fun, relaxing morning (yes - even canoeing can be relaxing). I will definitely return and take advantage of those hiking trails. See more..
5.0 Davoll's General Store (4 reviews)
- “A Step Back In Time”
Speciality & Gift Shops

Although this building and store has been around for 200+ years; this was the first time that I stopped in, and it was on a whim while driving by. What a quaint and excellent place, stocked with food, candy, gifts, and souvenirs! I believe in supporting Mom & Pop stores like this, and the owners were very nice people. I love how this area never changes, and this store is part of it. I will definitely stop in again, and do should you! Two rabbit ears up!! (\ (\ ( -.-) o_(“)(“) See more..
5.0 Dartmouth Orchards (1 review)
- Best peaches EVER!
Farmers Markets
The peaches at this place are unbelievable. The owner tells the story of how he used to supply a gourmet grocery store and I believe it. Definitely worth a stop if you're going to New Bedford or passing through. Easy to find and really friendly people. Definitely will be back! See more..
5.0 Destruction (1 review)
- Relaxing!
Hiking Trails

First off: there’s no *actual* address, but you’ll notice the sign for the entrance on Slades Corner. There’s plenty of paths to take, but just make sure you follow the colored markers on the tree! There’s benches throughout to take a seat on, too, if you get tired. I loved coming here and I can’t wait to explore the other trials! See more..
5.0 Frank Knowles-Little River Reserve Boardwalk Trail (1 review)
- Beautiful hike!
Monday: 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Hiking Trails

I surprised my husband with a trip out here on our anniversary to cross and take photos on the swinging bridge. Unfortunately the site that listed this wonderful place was not up to date and the swinging bridge is no longer there do to age and over usage! We were very disappointed but, opted to hike in anyway! We were so glad we did, there are several raised boardwAlks and some benches to sit and relax on while observing local wildlife. It was oppressively hot but, we found this an easy hike. We did the red trail and in and back was approximately 5 miles. There are yellow, blue, green and black trails also. We will come again and try those! It’s a beautiful area with or without the swinging bridge. I hope that they rebuild! The trails were clearly marked and well kept. There were maps at the trail head, plenty of parking and we chose to picnic lunch here as well! Don’t forget to Bring water! See more..
4.5 Running Brook Vineyard & Winery (51 reviews)
- Local Wines Worth the Visit
Monday: 12:00 PM - 5:00 AM Distilleries • Wineries & Vineyards

We stopped in to try some nice locally made wines on Memorial Day, and really enjoyed our time here. You are able to get a tasting of their wines (you choose 5), a glass of anything on their menu or a bottle and enjoy it on the winery floor or outside, if the weather is nice (it wasn't the day we visited). The staff is very helpful and happy to answer any questions you have about their wine or the process. You are also able to bring in your own food, so you can turn your visit into a nice picnic! Really worth the visit and we want to visit when the weather is nice! See more..

4.5 Parsons Reserve (14 reviews)
- Thousands of daffodils
Spent 1-2 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas

After a short uphill climb you a greeted with an array of thousands of beautifui yellow daffodils in a woodland setting. Parking is nearby and a $2 contribution is requested by the onsite volunteers to keep this place going. Short springtime window of just a few weeks, but a very pleasant place to stop and visit See more..

Shopping Malls
It’s a perfect size mall with plenty of stores to shop from. Great deals, plenty of parking, movie theater and restaurant. See more..
4.0 Demarest Lloyd State Park (32 reviews)
- Massachusetts Hidden Gem
State Parks • Beaches

I think Demarest Lloyd Beach is absolutely Gorgeous. It has huge sandbars so it is perfect for little ones since the water in this area only gets between 2-3 feet (no waves) and the water is warmer. Terrific landscape and very serine. Great picnic areas too! If your looking for t-shirt stands, arcades and gift shops this is certainly not the place. If your looking a nice day to relax on the beach, then you found your place. Two thumbs way up! See more..
4.0 Coastal Vineyards (26 reviews)
- Wonderful Vineyard, Bob is outstanding, & pleasant view.
Wineries & Vineyards

This is the 3rd time to this wonderful, tucked away vineyard in the country. Bob, is always a pleasure, sharing his knowledge on the wines. He even had copies of his recipe for hummus if you desired. You can bring your own snacks, which some other vineyards in the area do not allow. So, brought cold shrimp cocktail, cheese, & crackers.Two bottles of Chardonnay purchased & had a lovely afternoon with my friends. There are a few tables & Adirondack chairs facing the vineyard. Weather could not have been better. Steady stream of visitors throughout the afternoon.I am sure we will be back again. Cheers! . See more..
