This beautiful village lies just on the outskirts of the White Mountain region north of Lake Winnepesaukee. The scenery in the immediate vicinity is most charming and the distant views of the White Mountains are unsurpassed.

Plymouth Mountain, with the name of the town upon its rugged brow, and with its southern slope extending towards Bridgewater, is the highest and most prominent elevation. In the rosy glow of morning, rejoicing in the earliest rays of the rising sun. the grim old herald of returning days each morning reviews the awakening energies of the town.

Too wonderful the April night,
Too faintly sweet the first May flowers,
The stars too gloriously bright,
For me to spend the evening hours,
When fields are fresh and streams are leaping,
Wearied, exhausted, dully sleeping.

– from Claude McKay’s Spring in New Hampshire
