In the NW corner of Connecticut on the border of Massachusetts is the town of Norfolk. I was so pleased to find so many adventures, vistas, waterfalls and good food in one small town.

A small town in the Northwestern corner had a great deal to offer. There was a beautiful waterfall as you cross the bridge to the town. On either side of the waterfall there is a park that lines the river with engaging sculptures which are worthy of photo ops.
