Having moved to nearby Surry, New Hampshire, 13 months ago, my wife and I, our visiting son, his wife and our adult daughter have always enjoyed Central Square, which is a place of peaceful protest, and the nearby shops. Our personal favorites include: 1. the Prime Roost, where you can have a great cup of coffee; 2. Miller Brothers, who sell fine clothing for men; 3. a similar shop for women; 4. a consignment shop; 5. a chocolate shop; and 6. a Thai Restaurant. This area is a shady pleasant to walk. Several restaurants have outside seating. Don't miss it.

Reviewed By TrainManDan10 - Keene, United States
After moving to the local area in June 2017 from Manassas, Virginia, my wife and I discovered this rail trail as a peaceful place for a nature walk with our visiting adult children or with our two, now one, Golden Retriever dogs, which we always have on leashes. We usually access the trail just off Rt 9 about a mile west of Home Depot. Check Google Maps for more details. We walk west for up to a mile along a trail that is in good condition.

Because they maintain contact with hundreds of local crafts artisans, this store is able to offer a very wide selection of locally made goods. The staff is helpful and not pushy. My wife and I love to stop by from time to time and see what new items are available. When our son and his wife and our daughter are in town, they like to look around also.
