FROM THE LOCALS BLOG

In the second installment of Visit Bucks County's video series with veteran National Geographic photographer, Bob Krist, we take you on a visually stunning view of Bucks County from a bi-plane. The project, "Bucks County: See Why the Locals Love It," features three, short, three-minute cinematic films to promote the county as a great tourist destination by using local characters in their element…

There's still time to get fall photos before the cold weather sets and winter comes to Bucks County. The last of the maple trees are now turning bright yellow, which is a great complimentary color against afternoon blue skies. You'll find lots of windy roads throughout beautiful Bucks County, Pa. Start learning to really see as an artist when you look through your camera and compose an image…

My buddy Frank Williams and I love to bike long distances on the Delaware Canal towpath in Bucks County. Nothing puts more of an accent on our adventures than fine dining at one of the area’s many inns and restaurants near the path. Recently, we started at Black Rock Road where it crosses the canal in Lower Makefield and set our sights on New Hope, 13 miles to the west. The scenery, as usual, was…

The picture was taken early on Christmas Eve morning along the Delaware Canal Towpath, just south of Point Pleasant. Unseasonably warm temps were a great excuse to get out and enjoy beautiful Bucks County trails! ~ Jonathan C. Learn more about the Delaware Canal Towpath…

I had actually never been to this spot where the lock is, because I…

It was a beautiful summer afternoon when my sister-in-law (a former Bucks County resident) was visiting from Houston, TX. We decided to go into New Hope and Peddler's Village for an afternoon of shopping, lunch, and scenery. One of our stops included Bowman's Tower. It was exciting to climb the tower and take in the amazing views. You can't help but think about George Washington while you are…

The first snow day of the year is always magical, no matter how old you are! Peering outside my window I could see that the beautiful snow blanketed tree limbs, outlined fences and clung to wreaths hanging throughout the town, a scene right out of a snow globe. Having an apartment nestled in the middle of Yardley Borough gives me great access to the Yardley Canal. Every season paints a new…
