| Home to the "Five Colleges" (Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, & Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst) this scenic region has long been referred to as the "knowledge corridor". But in addition to its academic reputation, this corridor, known as the Pioneer Valley, is an ideal travel destination.
From authentically restored Victorian inns to classic New England farm houses there are numerous bed and breakfast opportunities located in the Pioneer Valley and the surrounding Hilltown region of Western Mass.
The five college area is within easy driving distance of New York, Hartford, Boston, Springfield and the Berkshires |
