New England is a six-state region in the northeast corner of the United States of America. Although it is one of the oldest settled parts of the US, most of the area except the coastal areas of eastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and southwestern Connecticut retains a rural charm and low population. Most of the area is well-travelled and has a thriving tourist industry. Although some of the popular attractions may seem corny to some people, there are many hidden gems to be found in New England.
