Visit Claremont guideAbout Croydon
Nestled in the rolling hills of Sullivan County, Croydon embodies the quintessential New Hampshire small town experience with its pristine rural landscape and tight-knit community of 748 residents. This charming town, established in 1763, maintains its agricultural heritage while offering easy access to the recreational wonderland of the Dartmouth-Sunapee region. Historic farmsteads dot the countryside, where stone walls wind through maple groves and open meadows create picture-perfect vistas that change dramatically with each season. What sets Croydon apart is its authentic rural character combined with proximity to larger communities like Newport and New London. The town's dirt roads lead to hidden swimming holes, hiking trails, and scenic overlooks that feel worlds away from urban life. Despite its small size, Croydon serves as a gateway to outdoor adventures, from snowmobiling the extensive VAST trail network in winter to exploring the nearby Sunapee region's lakes and mountains year-round.
