Bucks Co. Town Named PA's 'Prettiest' By Architectural Digest

Bucks County has the state's prettiest town, a highly regarded magazine has decided.

Architectural Digest magazine, in a new feature released this week, has named New Hope the prettiest town in all of Pennsylvania. The piece, which picks the prettiest town in every U.S. state, was published July 16.

"Rich in architecture and layered with nature—whether it’s canopies of trees, a beach that stretches for miles, or the glass-like surface on a lake or river—each U.S. state hosts more than one town that will take your breath away. From the East Coast to all the way to the West, we have listed are our favorites, with special love for small towns that are also abundant in culture. So put on your hiking boots and get ready to explore. Chances are, you'll come back home with memories that will last a lifetime, or even a new piece of art to hang in your home," the magazine says.

New Hope is described by the magazine as an easy day trip from Philly with dozens of art galleries, and of course river views.

Other well-known towns that made the list include Cape May, New Jersey, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
