A Visit to a Quintessential New England Town

- Today we are taking a day trip to Western New Hampshire to visit one of my favorite Towns.....Walpole, NH.....along the Connecticut River and home of L.A. Burdick Chocolates and in my opinion a Cute, Quaint, Quintessential New England Town.....Church Bells too! I invite you to join me and I will take you to the Town Square and a Chocolate Shop to die for! Unfortunately, the French Bistro (Burdick's) was not open at the time.
I love church bells. I remember hearing them while being pushed in a carriage in downtown Beverly before I turned 3 years old. Must have resonated with me.
What a beautiful memory 💞
It is Well with My Soul - love the sound of church bells!
So refreshing to see pieces of our country...as if there's no trouble in the world
Hearing the church bells play It Is Well With My Soul was heartwarming. I absolutely love your channel! Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you so much Cheryl!
Me to
Bells are beautiful
Thank you for the lovely video. As I sit here in my little VT cottage working on a quilt for my 6-year-old grandson I have my laptop next to me and have so far enjoyed both your and Linda's videos. We're supposed to get more snow later, so it's the perfect day for a cup of coffee, good videos and quilting. Blessings to you and your family.
That sounds like the perfect cozy morning. It just started to snow here again about an hour ago. Stay warm!
You too!@@mynewenglandstory
Now you've done it! I will plan a visit to Walpole, somewhere I've never been. Thank you.
Church bells and bagpipes pure magic. Thank you for another lovely trip with you.
Love watching. Pure comfort . Can't wait to see other things to come. 7:26
Carla, You are a joy to watch and love your channel. Always look forward to your next episode. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.
How sweet! Thank you for watching Lisa!
Oh , how beautiful to have those sweet dinner guests in your yard. A snowy Sunday drive, the beautiful homes and shops. The chocolate shop was over the top for such a small town. The bakery case had my mouth watering. And church bells have got to be the most magical sound of all. Especially in the winter. Blessed are those who live so close that it is part of their life. Two gazebos, a stone church, an ice skating pond!!! It does look like a Currier and Ives painting. I am happy it was not a sunny day, as I am in California.... and I watch to live vicariously through you. These snowy days are such a tranquil, peaceful part of my Sunday. Thank you. You have a wonderful way of filming that actually makes me feel like I took a drive.
Thank you so much Liane. Yes, Burdick's is a beautiful Shop, I forgot to mention there is one in Boston also. I hope to lunch in their Restaurant next door to the Chocolate Shop next time I visit, I've heard it is wonderful. Have a great week Liane.
A very beautiful and special part of the world. I've visited New England five times from my home in England and it's my spiritual home.
I agree Kate. I feel the same about England even though I've only been virtually. I am hoping to visit one day soon. Have a beautiful weekend!
Thank you for such a beautiful and serene video. Blessings and prayers...
Thank you so much, enjoy the rest of your day!
Oh my goodness that chocolate shop 😋 I would have to tell them to pack me up 1 of everything 😂. Beautiful small town, the Church bells are lovely. Thanks for sharing, being from the South all my life this gives me a glimpse into the New England area. So quaint.
Thank you for joining me Lisa 😊
Loved seeing the older homes in New England, thanks for taking us on for the ride!!❤
Watching from Manchester England....what a lovely video. Loved the deer in the snow in your garden. Magical ❤
Thank you! I always love getting comments from England.....it's definitely on my bucket list to visit someday! Have a wonderful evening!
From Manchester, UK too 😄👋

Beautiful New England town! I’ve got the itch to visit that chocolate shop! Love all the old White House’s! I loved the basket Linda bought for her paper whites. She mentioned you reached it for her. I Love what you girls are doing! Thank you so much! Blessing’s from Bethlehem, New Hampshire!❤
Thank you Gina. Yes, we both spotted it at the same time, but I let her buy it. After seeing what she did with it, I wish I would have bought it! LOL. Enjoy your week and stay warm!
very cosy and lovely winter landscape😊😊❄️❄️ liked and subbed😊😊 thanks for many more of these videos
Thank you!
@@mynewenglandstory thank you for filming👍👍
Thank you for this beautiful video! Love New England!
I just came across your video and it was amazing and sincerely made me cry. All my life I dreamed of a place like this but unfortunately life had other plans for me. I lived my dream through your video and for that I thank you.
Thank you so much for your words Rosa and I am truly happy that it brought you happiness. I dreamed of moving to New England 10 years before we were finally able to fulfill that dream, so I understand. New England is definitely a special place, at least to me. Have a beautiful weekend Rosa.
Greetings from England! I loved your day trip, I visited New England at Christmas quite some time ago and am totally in love with the beautiful houses and wonderful landscapes. (Also visited Boston in August….very different!)
Hello and Welcome! Yes, it amazes me how small each New England States are yet each so very different from each other. I love them all in their own way.☺️
Thank you Carla for sharing the ride to Walpole with us! 😊
Such lovely homes, such a quaint town. I could live there happily. Thanks for sharing your trip!
I loved the church bells. It is Well with my soul is a favorite of mine. The homes in this town reminded me of our town in Va. Very beautiful!
Beautiful quaint little town the homes were beautiful have a great week
My goodness Carla you certainly have mastered video photography - you capture everything so well - not too fast, nor too slow! Thank you so much from an armchair visitor, as I don’t get to travel anymore!❤
Thank you so much Kate. Enjoy the rest of your week. 😊
Thank you for showing us such beautiful homes & building I love all of it
Thank you for watching Cathy! I'm so glad you enjoyed "coming along with me".
Such a sweet sight to see outside your window!!!🦌🦌
This is lovely. I just found your wonderful channel today, and subscribed. All my kindest regards from a small town on the shoreline in Connecticut.❤
Welcome and thank you for subscribing Elizabeth!
How lovely! I've now added Walpole to the list of NE places to visit on our next trip from the UK. It's named after Sir Robert Walpole who is generally considered to be the first Prime Minister of Great Britain and who has a connection to Orford in Suffolk, where our holiday home is. So now it's doubly interesting for me - thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for the trip, can never get enough of those beautiful New England homes and quaint towns.
I agree Nancy. Enjoy your week!
Absolutely beautiful, such a quaint and sweet town so full of history. Thanks for taking us along. Greetings from Debby in upstate New York ❤
Thank you Debby, stay warm!!
Thanks for the deer pics, we had a 3 point buck in our yard on Christmas Day. Having some mixed rain & snow melt today here in Ontario. Your snow, quaint towns & mountain views are wonderful and the chocolate made me drool, lol. Always enjoy your road trips & shops. Thanks, Carla.
Oh wow, a Buck in your yard....what an incredible sight that must have been! Thank you for watching Wendy!
Between your dinner guest deer friends frolicking in the snow and hearing the church bells , you absolutely made my morning as I sip my pumpkin coffee waiting for my granddaughter to arrive . Starting to snow here in Fairhaven MA also so your video & our snow made my day! Have a wonderful week 😊
Thank you Joann. We woke up to a Winter Wonderland here....at least 10 inches. Have a beautiful day!
Thank you for this wonderful vlog! I'm going to watch it again. I really enjoy your content!💕❤
Thank you so much!

Thank you for "coming along with me" Kareem.
Thank you Carla, for consistently wonderful content! ❄💖❄
Thank you so much Justine!
Walpole was such a quaint, lovely town. I can just imagine looking out my window & watching the ice skaters! Another interesting video, thank you for all of the effort you put into crafting these videos, Carla! 🙂
Thank you so much Melinda, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a great week!
Thank you, Carla, for this day trip. The antique homes and village of Walpole are just gorgeous and unique in their own way. I noted though they were all white. I love your unique house and color with its open wooded land.
Thank you so much Patricia 😊
Hello Carla love your intro. What a beautiful and enchanting view. Love the beautiful deer. Thank you for taking us on your trip to such a lovely area with its stunning homes. Love the Chocolate Shop, very tempting❤
Thank you Maria!
What a fun trip to a delightful New England town! All those white houses! I could not pick a favorite! Thank you very much for sharing this video.
Thank you for watching Barbara!
Thank you for your video. I am watching from the suburbs of Springfield, Massachusetts.
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful NE town. I'm so proud to be from NE ( live in NH) I never take for granted the beauty that surrounds us.
If agree Trish!
What a lovely video! Thank you Karla for your content. My husband and I are coming to New Hampshire for the first time in a week or so. I am so excited to finally experience it in person! I'm taking notes on your recommendations for places to see. I absolutely love the church bells! ❤
Oh wonderful!!! The White Mountains are a sight to see for sure, especially if there's snow. Enjoy your trip!
@@mynewenglandstory Thank you!
Hello Carla, enjoyed seeing the animal guests🦌🦌🦌 that visited your property! Also glad you were able to video tape them 👍 Perhaps when Spring time arrives or the Fall you could take us along again to visit quaint Walpole, the homes looked lovely and it was nice that you shared the sound of the bells 🔔 My goodness what a selection of chocolates you had at the Burdicks Chocolate place, hope you treated yourself to some 🍫🍩🍪 Wished the wedding venue place would have been open for you to visit, perhaps next time. Blessings and thanks for sharing this enjoyable video ☮❄❄🦌🦌🤍
Thank you Anne Marie. Yes, I hope I have better luck next time at Alyson's Orchard because I've heard so much about it. Have a great week!
When my paper white bulbs are done blooming I take fresh flowers and put them in water tubes and sink them into the soil amongst the green leaves . Just a few at different heights .it looks like a little garden . Love the deer such a sweet scene. Thank you for sharing.No snow here in on LI. Lots of rain.
I love that idea, thank you Mary!
Honey and garlic? I've heard of honey and ginger but not that. So I learned something new. Love the road trip. It brings back memories of my family's weekend drives. The air always smells so fresh after a snow. Thanks for this.
Thank you for watching Nancy 😊
Chocolate display ❤❤
I live in Massachusetts have my whole life was raised in Milford which is south of Cape Cod. I now live in Worcester mass I am a widow since my husband passed in 2014. I love Massachusetts❤thank you for the quaint little tour. You should come to Sudbury, MA a very unique little town. The Wayside Inn is there and you can have lunch there. It’s very quaint and supposed to be haunted.❤ I love having lunch there.
Thank you so much for watching. I have been to Sudbury and love it and The Wayside Inn is one of my favorites. I took my Daughter there for her Birthday lunch a couple of years ago. I'm not familiar with Milford, is that anywhere near Marion? Marion is another adorable little MA Towns. Have a beautiful week, hoping to get some sunshine.
@@mynewenglandstory no Milford is near Grafton, Hopedale and Mendon.
Lovely. Never been to NE . Did not realize the buildings were predominantly white!
Not all of NE is predominantly white, but Walpole certainly was and I was curious of the reason also. Thank you for watching!
Good morning from Nebraska.
Good morning NE from CT 🇺🇲
Carla...I absolutely love Walpole and we especially love going to Burdick's. My favorite chocolates are those little mice ...they are so very yummy. If you have not had lunch or dinner at Burdick's restaurant, you must try it someday. It can be a little pricey but it's definitely worth it... I have never had a bad meal there! We always make sure that we do not order dessert with our meal, but instead we go into the little chocolate /tea room and have a cup of tea and a fancy dessert! You are right ....if you go to the top of Allison's in the autumn and you look across the Connecticut River into Vermont, it is the most spectacular view. Thank you so much for this lovely video. I enjoyed relaxing on this snowy day and going along with you on your adventure!❤❤
Thank you Cynthia! Lunching at Burdick's Restaurant is definitely on my list of things to do. I wanted to share that experience with a friend, so maybe next time. Have you been to Burdick's in Boston? Another beautiful Shop. Enjoy your week!!!
@@mynewenglandstory Yes I have been to Burdicks in Boston ...very nice... but imagine my surprise when we moved here and I found that beautiful hidden gem in the little town of Walpole!! I was very surprised and happy!!
@@cynthiasirois8295 I can relate, I was shocked to see it on our first visit there too. Such an unexpected surprise.
So quaint ☃️
Hi Carla, The deer were so sweet!! Walpole such a quaint town love all the churches and homes ! You being from Michigan did you compare the candy store to the fudge shops!? It was charming store . the drive was so pretty ! Thank you for sharing !
Both Burdicks and Kilwin's greet you with that wonderful chocolate scent when you enter! Thank you for watching
Beautiful video Carla, the baby deer were a delight to see. I loved this little town, the architecture is stunning, I can understand why they film a lot of the American films there. The church bells sounded lovely, I really find the pretty white steeple churches as you enter the New England towns a lovely welcome. Do you remember the series on the TV in the sixties’ Payton Place’?.. the town reminded me of it. I expect you were too young to remember it! It seemed a long drive? Was it far from your home?… Anyway, thank you again great video…☺️
I remember hearing of Payton Place....wasn't it a Soap Opera? I never watched it, so I can't relate to the similarity. Yes, it's a bit of a drive for me and I wish it was closer so that I could go more often. Thank you for joining me today Jean.
The style of buildings is wonderful. Our state is very different but we have beauty too.
I've only been to Nebraska once when I was young. If I remember correctly, we went to a Corn Palace, does that sound right?
Thank you for the lovely trip. @@mynewenglandstory
What an adorable New England Town. Do you remember the 1960's show Peyton Place with Mia Farrow. that town reminds me of that with the beautiful white homes, steepled churches and the Gazebo..beautiful.
You are the second person to mention that Fran. It was a little before my time but I plan on looking up that Show now because you have me curious. Enjoy your week!
@@mynewenglandstorythe movie Peyton Place was filmed in Camden, Maine.
So enjoyed your day trip and all you showed us. I wonder if all the houses have to be white in Walpole? Also, I worry about you driving alone on the snowy roads. Were you far from your home? Also, do you get used to driving in snow and slush. We never attempt that in the south. Please be careful!
Thank you but the roads are cleared. I have always lived where there is snow so I am used to driving in it, but thank you for your concern. I am not sure the reason for the white houses. I will say, in VT a lot of the houses are white also. Have a great week.
Hi Carla, thanks for taking us on the scenic drive. So many beautiful homes with the wraparound porches, and of course I enjoyed seeing all the pastries and candy at Burdicks. Stay warm!❤
Did you notice the little animal as you entered the "farm store" driveway --- on the right, at the edge of the fence, at 6:15 on your video? Wonder what it was...? Very nice video, thank you!
No I didn’t, I’ll go back and watch!
Have you been to Center Sandwich NH? I think you will love it; a storybook town. (Squam Lake, “Golden Pond” area.)
Yes I have and I agree, a beautiful area. On Golden Pond is one of my favorite movies and so I was so excited to visit Holderness. Have a wonderful weekend Martha.
Tried watching today. The volume goes up and down. Not consistent. The scenery was amazing.
I apologize Shirley, I was using a microphone for the first time and am just learning how to use it.....everything has a learning curve. Thank you for watching.
You could blend the honey/garlic into a vinaigrette!
Perfect, thank you Juliet!
Nine chocolates for $38. Wow.
A little too much “driving” in this video…. Just my thought
