A Lovely Day in the Region
One can travel across the North Central region of Massachusetts along forty miles of Route 2 in less than an hour going from, say, Ayer to Athol. But, unless it’s important to reach a specific destination in as short a time as possible, why do it? North Central Massachusetts itself provides the destination for travelers seeking a relaxing, unhurried trip off the beaten path. The region lends itself well to the new slow-travel trend.
