These 10 towns are friendly, charming, and the most walkable in Pennsylvania.”Doylestown ranks number two on the list just behind Easton, the Northampton county seat, and New Hope Borough ranks fourth.The World Atlas cites Doylestown for its “vibrant nightlife, museums, and historic mansions.“The downtown area has been designated as a ‘Distinctive Destination’ by the National Trust for Historic Preservation due to the historical buildings and architectural beauty.

The castle was completed in 1912 and was the home of archaeologist Henry Chapman Mercer to showcase his vast collection of tiles and prints." According to the Atlas, New Hope is known for its eclectic cultural scene, theatre, and vintage mansions. “Parry Mansion is a prime example and includes furnishings from different periods, starting in the 1800s. The town is very walkable and near Delaware Canal State Park and Towpath.“As you walk through the historic downtown area, you'll pass the Bucks County Playhouse, where the likes of Grace Kelley and Dick Van Dyke have graced the stage,” the Atlas says.The Parry Mansion in New Hope.
