Shelburne

A few miles south of Burlington, the Champlain Valley gives way to fertile farmland, affording stunning views of the rugged Adirondacks across the lake. In the middle of this farmland is the village of Shelburne, chartered in the mid-18th century and partly a bedroom community for Burlington. It has a lively food scene, and the Shelburne Inn and Farms are worth at least a day of exploring.
