Walk the grounds of Pettibone Farm. The 1789 farmhouse and its 19th-century barns look striking in the softening afternoon light. It is a quiet place to stretch your legs before the main event.
20:18
Head to Bill Laston Memorial Fields. This public park offers open views of the sky as the sun dips toward the WNW. The Seecum Brook runs through the area, adding to the calm atmosphere.

Watch the sunset. At 20:28 the sun disappears below the horizon. The golden light that started at 19:46 will linger for a few minutes, painting the fields in warm tones.
20:53
Dinner at Olde Forge Restaurant. Located a short walk from the fields, this staple of Lanesborough serves tasty wings, fried food, and a salad bar. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for unwinding after the walk.
Local tip
The restaurant is open until 23:00 on weekdays and weekends, so you can take your time with dinner and a beer after the sun goes down.
