The area around Shoreham is perfect for cycling. It’s famous for its tidy apple orchards, grand views of Lake Champlain, pastures with grazing sheep and cows, and the classic beauty and simplicity of the surrounding towns and villages. Mountains form a backdrop to your rides - the Green Mountains to the east and the impressive skyline of the Adirondacks rising over the lake to the west. It makes for a wonderfully varied experience of rural Vermont.
Dominic and Molly Francis are your hosts at the beautifully restored Shoreham Inn. They have retained its fine country feel and essential 1790 Vermont character while adding those comforts and amenities that make your stay special. The dining room, with its exposed beams and open fireplace, exudes warmth and charm and sets the friendly atmosphere for delicious home-cooked meals.
On tours, Bike Vermont often includes a visit to historic Chimney Point with its excellent museum and shop. Cycle to the classic New England town of Middlebury, where former grist and woolen mills now house one of Vermont's finer collections of sophisticated craft shops and galleries and the famous Vermont State Craft Center. You also ride through the handsome campus of prestigious Middlebury College before riding over the two lane Pulp Mill Covered Bridge on the way to the University of Vermont's Morgan Horse Farm. On Sunday, visit Norton's Gallery (where his world-renowned whimsical wood carvings are a delight), and ride through historic Orwell where you can picnic in the large gazebo that graces the village common. Add to all this wonderful cycling, the special warmth of the inn and the innkeepers, and you have a very memorable vacation indeed.
