The East Coast of the United States stretches from the wilds of the Canadian border to the beaches of the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, the eastern seaboard of America offers a wide diversity of visitor experiences. It is an area that conjures up so many perfect holidays it is difficult to know where to begin. From the classic Autumnal kaleidoscope in deepest New England to the vibrancy of a three or four night shopping break in New York, there really is an endless list of possibilities.

From the colonial history of Boston and Philadelphia to Washington DC’s superb museums and government buildings to the golf courses and beaches of the Carolinas , there is so much to do and so much to see, one visit is not enough.  America's history may be brief, but it is packed with interest, from the site of the Boston Tea Party to the Liberty Bell and the battlefields of the American Civil War and the War of Independence, the East is filled with significant sites from the country's past. Take a self-drive holiday from Washington DC, through Virginia and explore and learn and enjoy.If American history is not your scene, there are enough Natural Wonders and National Parks to impress most visitors. The thunder of Niagara Falls, the serene beauty of The Berkshires in Massachusetts, the gorges of the Delaware River Gap where the Delaware River cuts through the Appalachian Mountains in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, breathtaking views abound.
