The Inn at Bowman's Hill Blog

Golden Apples

One of the most delicious things about summer is the abundance of farm-fresh fruits and vegetables that will soon be ripe and ready for harvesting. Agriculture is Pennsylvania's top industry, making our roadside produce stands, farmers markets and local orchards great places to get a mouth-watering taste of nature's bounty.

Food at The Deck Restaurant

Ahhh... summertime! There's so much to do here in New Hope during these warm-weather months — from hiking and biking along the Delaware Canal to relaxing by our pool here at the Inn at Bowman's Hill. One of our favorite things to enjoy is al fresco dining along the Delaware River. There's no shortage of amazing restaurants with panoramic waterfront views from their patios and decks.

Delaware Canal

Encompassing more than 300,000 acres, Pennsylvania's 124 state parks offer residents and visitors a myriad of outdoor recreation activities — from hiking, biking and boating to environmental and historical programs. Two of these state parks are listed as National Historic Landmarks, one being Delaware Canal State Park here in Bucks County.

Pride Parade

New Hope, Pennsylvania, is ranked by Vacationer Magazine, Time Out and numerous other publications as one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly towns in America. Every year, New Hope celebrates its inclusive spirit by joining with Lambertville, our New Jersey neighbor, for PrideFest.

Wildflowers

The Inn at Bowman's Hill is proud to have as our neighbor one of the most spectacular nature preserves in the country — Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve. From gorgeous trails and cascading streams to stunning meadows overflowing with wildflowers, the preserve offers visitors not only diverse landscapes to admire, but also educational, interpretive and conservation programs to foster a new appreciation for nature.

Brewery

Would you be surprised to learn that Pennsylvania is ranked the No. 2 beer-producing state in the U.S.? It's true! Our breweries produce 3.6 million barrels of beer per year, second only to California. While most of that is non-craft brands, the popularity of craft beer is booming. Pennsylvania is home to more than 400 craft breweries, and two dozen of those are right here in Bucks County.

New Hope Railroad

From the clackety-clack of the wheels on the tracks to the steam rising from the engine, a ride on the historic New Hope Railroad will transport you back in time. Climb aboard and enjoy panoramic views of meandering streams, abundant farmland, landmark buildings, bridges and more as you traverse along tracks that wind through the scenic Bucks County countryside.

Fonthill Castle

You don't have to be royalty or even travel to Europe to visit a grand, historic castle. Fun fact: Pennsylvania is home to more than a dozen castles, and two of them are in Doylestown, about 25 minutes east of the Inn at Bowman's Hill. Fonthill Castle and the Mercer Museum were both built by renowned American archeologist and collector Henry Chapman Mercer.

Ferry Market
