Bristol Views Bed and Breakfast

Area Attractions

The Finger Lakes Region of New York has something for everyone and something for every season. Interstate 90 (The NY State Thruway) or Interstate 86 provides easy access from any part of the state. The hills and lakes make driving the State highways and county roads an enjoyable experience in and of itself.

The outdoor enthusiast will find many adventures on hiking trails, bike trails, the gullies and waterfalls, and, of course, the lakes. In the winter there is downhill skiing, snow boarding, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing nearby.

The shopper will be overwhelmed with the antique offerings, the arts and craft centers, the artisan galleries, and the quaint shops in the small towns.

Visitors to Bristol Views can spend days visiting all of the wineries of the Finger Lakes and the surrounding historical and cultural venues. Guests may also want to try their luck at the Finger Lake Race Track in nearby Farmington.

Most of all, guests to Bristol Views will be awed by the splendor of nature here in the Bristol Hills of the Finger Lakes. Every season is beautiful - from the greens of spring and summer to the golds, yellows and reds of fall, to the whites of winter.
