I like supporting independent bookshops, so I had this on my list when visiting the Doylestown area. There was a nice selection in various subjects, as well as little knickknacks such as candles, notebooks, socks, and magnets. The only thing I could ask for would be a discount or bargain bin section of used books.

The castle is a great structure in a great setting, It looks like a fairy-tale come to life and makes me wish I was young again. Clean and well-maintained, it is an integral part of the park and is the type of amenity that makes Doylestown and Bucks County great.

This is a forever fascinating unique shrine complex, friendly, inviting - with long standing tradition of hospitality and many events through the year. The church is dedicated to Black Madonna - Our Lady of Czestochowa and it is surrounded by the adjacent festival grounds and cemetery. The church is known for its modern beautiful altar and the stunning stain-glass windows depicting the history of Poland and United States. There is also a chapel, cafeteria, souvenir store, exhibit halls, museum and many other notable nooks to explore. Coronavirus disturbed the usual schedule of events, religious pilgrimages, exhibits and the yearly September attraction of the Polish Festival but this special place is always worth visiting and attractive both to ordinary tourists and pilgrims on a spiritual journey.

We are a small lavender farm nestled in the back roads of Bucks County PA. We have roughly 3,000 lavender plants in production. We dry our own lavender and distill on site to make a wide variety of products that are available in our gift shop. We are open Thursday-Saturday from 10am to 5 pm and Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm all year round.

What a small hidden gem to find! The gift shop has unique gifts and there is a great display that explains how they harvest the lavender. Even though the harvest was over when we visited, the lake view across the street was beautiful! Will definitely return when back in town!

Unquestionably my favorite winery in the area. The wine maker/owner only uses grapes grown on site. No added sugar is used in any of the wines, and the reds are particularly outstanding. The tastings are only $5 for samples of nine wines. Although usually only open Saturday and Sunday, we were driving by on New Year’s Eve (a Tuesday) afternoon and spotted cars in the parking lot. The tasting room was open and in addition to the complimentary cheese, crackers and (homemade) sausage that are usually available for pairings, the owner brought out freshly made steak tartare with all the trimmings that was out of this world! This place is really a hidden gem.
