Littleton, New Hampshire
Littleton
One day is enough for Littleton: explore downtown, grab a diner meal, and stroll the Ammonoosuc River; stay overnight if you want a relaxed pace.
Littleton is a small New Hampshire hub at the junction of Rt 302, Rt 116 and I‑93. Its downtown offers a historic inn, a well‑rated diner and a boutique book shop. The town is a convenient base for a short walk along the river or a quick drive into the White Mountains. Most visitors can see the main sights in a half‑day and stay the night for a relaxed evening.
