Fly from the UK to Boston, USA 

Begin your journey in Boston, a city where America's story truly began. Wander the Freedom Trail past iconic sites like Paul Revere's House and the Old North Church, where lanterns once signalled the start of a revolution. Settle in at the historic Omni Parker House, America's longest continuously operating hotel, which has welcomed guests since 1855 and counts literary greats like Charles Dickens among its storied past. Explore the city's cinematic side on the Boston Movie Mile Tour, wandering through some of the most filmed streets in the country to uncover the stories behind the city's many appearances on the big and small screen. With centuries of history and a touch of Hollywood around every corner, Boston sets a compelling tone for the adventure ahead.

Continue your journey to the bewitching town of Salem, where 17th-century history and modern pop culture collide. Stroll past charming colonial buildings, explore museums dedicated to the infamous witch trials, and join the Hocus Pocus Movie Guided Walking Tour to uncover filming spots from the beloved Halloween classic. Salem’s streets are filled with unique shops, historic landmarks, and an atmosphere that feels both eerie and enchanting. 

Next, head to Bangor, the unassuming Maine town that inspired many of Stephen King’s stories. Fans will recognise streets from 'It' and may even stop for photos at the author’s iconic Victorian home. Wander through leafy neighbourhoods that sparked King’s imagination and soak in the town’s quiet charm. Between literary chills and intriguing local landmarks, Bangor offers a fascinating stop for anyone who loves a good story or wants a glimpse into the world of one of America’s most famous authors.

Venture into the scenic White Mountains region, with Lincoln serving as your perfect base.

Explore charming towns, covered bridges, and scenic drives that highlight New England’s natural beauty. Whether you’re a fan of film history, photography, or simply enjoying peaceful landscapes, Lincoln combines cinematic magic with timeless scenery, offering a memorable and relaxing stop on your road trip.

Providence is a city where history, art, and a touch of the mysterious come together, and a stay at the Graduate by Hilton Hotel, Providence puts you right in the heart of it. This Rhode Island capital inspired H.P. Lovecraft's eerie tales and provided locations for 'Meet Joe Black.' Stroll along Benefit Street to admire centuries-old architecture and soak in the city's cultural richness. With vibrant dining, unique galleries, and an intriguing literary legacy, Providence offers a blend of sophistication and subtle spookiness.

No haunted New England adventure is complete without 'Sleepy Hollow.' Explore the famous cemetery, stroll past centuries-old gravestones, and imagine the headless horseman riding through the village. Tarrytown’s charming streets are filled with local shops and cafés, offering a relaxing stop before your final city adventure. With its mix of folklore and historic charm, Sleepy Hollow lets you immerse yourself in American legend while experiencing a truly unique destination.
