Cheshire Ranks Among ‘Most Overlooked’ Towns In CT

CHESHIRE, CT — Cheshire ranks as one of the “most overlooked” towns in Connecticut, according to the website WorldAtlas.

WorldAtlas compiled a list of “six underrated Connecticut towns that travelers should consider visiting, whether in search of a lively evening or a tranquil retreat.”

Stonington, Thompson, Torrington, Old Saybrook, and Pomfret, were included with Cheshire as the state’s “most overlooked” towns.

WorldAtlas wrote that Cheshire is “celebrated as both a prime vacation destination and a fantastic place to live, having garnered recognition as one of the best places to reside in the state.”

“Presently, Cheshire is recognized as a flourishing agricultural community in New Haven County, although it retains much of its historical charm from its days as a former mill village,” according to the post on WorldAtlas.com. “The town's suburban atmosphere makes it ideal for families looking to settle down or for individuals seeking a serene retreat conveniently situated between Hartford and New Haven. Visitors in early June should not miss the Strawberry Festival and Craft Fair, a cherished town tradition featuring live performances, children's rides, and delectable strawberry shortcakes.”
