Wentworth
Wentworth, New Hampshire
Wentworth is a quiet stop for a half-day walk and a meal, not a destination: skip unless you are driving the Dartmouth–Sunapee loop.
Wentworth is a small town (population 911) in the Dartmouth–Lake Sunapee region of New Hampshire. Its main draw is the Wentworth Common and the Webster Memorial Library, both good for a short break. Most visitors pass through on the way to Hanover, New London or the lakes. A half-day is enough; no overnight stay is needed unless you are hiking the Appalachian Trail.
