The Inn at Bowman's Hill Blog

Covered Bridge

As autumn paints its vibrant hues across Penn's Woods, there's no better time to embark on a scenic journey through Bucks County. Dotted across our idyllic countryside are charming covered bridges that not only serve as historical relics but also as gateways to a world where time seems to stand still. And when these covered bridges are beautifully dressed in the rich colors of fall, it's the perfect time to explore these historical landmarks.

Haunted House

For those who like a good scare, Halloween isn't just a day, it's a season! If you're a thrill-seeker getting ready for a month-long celebration of all things scary, Bucks County has what you're looking for. When you stay with us at the Inn at Bowman's Hill, you're just minutes from some of the best haunted attractions in Pennsylvania with plenty of spine-tingling scares and screams. Here are two frightening favorites to check out during your fall getaway to our luxurious bed and breakfast.

Bucks County Playhouse

Do you believe in ghosts? Do you find the idea of restless spirits wandering the earthly realm fascinating? Whether you are drawn to the mysterious and the unexplained or are simply interested in an entertaining lantern-led walk through historic New Hope, the Ghost Tours of New Hope offers a spine-tingling journey into the world of the paranormal.

Peddler's Village shop

Peddler’s Village is a countryside shopping, dining and entertainment destination in the heart of historic Bucks County, where colonial charm meets modern delights. Located in Lahaska, just 8 miles from the Inn at Bowman's Hill, this thriving attraction welcomes more than two million visitors from around the globe each year. It's so popular that it's been named the No.

New Hope Arts Festival

Whether you're an art connoisseur or simply enjoy spending an afternoon admiring the talent of skilled artists, you'll want to check out the New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival. This two-day juried show in late September is set against the backdrop of the beautiful Delaware River in New Hope, Pennsylvania, a short drive from the Inn at Bowman's Hill.

Washington Crossing Historic Park

Washington Crossing Historic Park is a living testament to one of the most critical moments in American history — Gen. George Washington's daring Christmas night crossing of the Delaware River in 1776. By visiting the park, you can stand on the same hallowed ground where the American troops embarked on a risky mission that ultimately changed the course of the Revolutionary War. There's much to see and do at the park, from historic homes and a lookout tower to lush gardens and hiking trails.

New Hope Auto Show

Every August, car enthusiasts and collectors from all over the country flock to New Hope to showcase some of the finest antique and classic automobiles you'll see anywhere for the New Hope Auto Show. What began as a small gathering of vintage car aficionados in 1957 has grown into a grand event attracting thousands of visitors each year. Mark your calendar for the 2023 New Hope Auto Show, set for Aug. 12-13. Come for the cars and stay for everything else our scenic riverside town has to offer.

Tubing on Delaware River

Some vacationers who come to New Hope for a summertime getaway are looking for rest and relaxation, while others prefer a little adventure. You'll find opportunities for both at Bucks County River Country. This Delaware River outfitter has provided tubing, kayaking, canoeing and rafting excursions for 56 years. They have all the gear you need for an unforgettable day on the water — whether that's means floating peacefully downstream or riding the swift rapids.

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.
