Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons, with its stunning colours, crisp air and cozy vibes. It's an especially beautiful time of year in this small town which transforms into something worthy of an autumn fairytale.

Woodstock, Vermont is a breathtaking destination to visit during the fall. The historic village is located 3 hours from Montreal, making it an idyllic spot for a getaway.

Dubbed "America's Prettiest Town," Woodstock is nestled within the Green Mountains of Windsor County and is brimming with colonial architecture, cozy shops and gorgeous views.

During the fall, the town turns into an enchanting autumn paradise with leaf-filled streets, breathtaking hikes and harvest adventures.

Some of the fall highlights of Woodstock include local farms such as Billings Farm & Museum where you can celebrate the harvest season and enjoy the fall colours.

You can also lace up your boots and hike through some gorgeous foliage. The Mount Peg Trail System offers twisting pathways through golden trees and panoramic lookouts, while Mt. Tom features stunning views of the village steeped in colour.

You'll want to spend some time exploring the quaint village. There are many local shops with unique goods as well as cafes and farm-to-table restaurants.

Woodstock is home to four enchanting covered bridges that are even more beautiful during the fall. You can soak up some New England charm as you explore the historic landmarks.

If you're looking for an overnight stay, you can book a room at one of the quaint inns, such as the Woodstock Inn & Resort.

Grab your passport and take a fall road trip to this enchanting autumn village.
