This basalt mountain on the Metacomet Ridge is one of the most beloved hiking and climbing locations in the Hartford area. Here the ridge reaches a height of 500 feet but climbs precipitously from the east bank of the Quinnipiac River. What you get are far-reaching views over Berlin, Southington and portions of New Britain from the cliff tops. The ...
I’ve mentioned that the Metacomet Ridge passes through Berlin, and the unusual quantity of ancient volcanic landforms all around makes for some great hiking. The 50-mile Metacomet Trail follows the course of the ridge from Meriden, just south of Berlin, up to the Massachusetts state line. As well as Ragged Mountain, there are a few places where you...
One of the advantages of being so close to New Britain is that this exceptional museum is only ten minutes away. When it opened in 1903 it was the first museum in the country devoted exclusively to American art. The collection runs the gamut, from colonial-era portraits to recently acquired post-contemporary works centered around Graydon Parrish’s ...
I couldn’t help but admire the care that has gone into this 18-hole miniature golf course on a scenic hillside over the Berlin Turnpike. The greens are set on terraces, traced by large models of giraffes, elephants, gorillas and lions. The whole site is laced with streams, cascades and neatly tended shrubs and perennials. There are lots of opportun...
By the base of Ragged Mountain is a highly-rated municipal golf course. These 18-holes were first landscaped in the early 1970s by Al Zikorus. Just over a decade ago they were given a thorough redesign, re-contouring all of the fairways and adding extra bunkers. The fairways can be tight here and those bunkers are a real scourge, so your iron game ...
This former golf 18-hole course was abandoned in the early 2000s and was bought back by the town in 2008. Berlin paid twice the price to stop the land being turned into condo complexes. Not only is Pistol Creek a beautiful place to hike, cycle or jog, I found it remarkable to see how this water-rich man-made environment has been reclaimed by nature...
This innovative escape room brand has two locations, one in Chicago and the other right here in Berlin. Team vs Time has four rooms to solve, each with a well-crafted back-story and high production values. You’ll be drawn into their historical or fantastical worlds for as long as it takes to get out. For an idea of what awaits you, there’s “Cure of...
Something Connecticut isn’t low on is craft breweries. I’m happy to report that there’s a great one close by, tucked round the back of a light industrial complex in Rocky Hill. The taproom at Still Hill is open Thursday through Sunday, and when I stopped by there were 13 beers on draft. A couple of my personal picks were The Nut on the Hill (Brown ...
You won’t have to travel for some sports action in Berlin, as the home of the New Britain Bees is a couple of miles along Route 9. Founded in 2015 and taking over from the defunct Rock Cats, the Bees play in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL). During the season you can come to the 6,146-seater stadium to see the Bees up against outfits f...
On the Metacomet Ridge there’s another abrupt peak in the south of Berlin. Lamentation Mountain reaches a height of 720 feet and warrants the climb for painterly cliff-top views west to the Hanging Hills and over Silver Lake immediately below. The ridge is traversed by another Blue-Blazed walking route, the 51-mile Mattabesett Trail, which intersec...
