DOYLESTOWN, PA — A travel website has picked two Bucks County communities as among the most beautiful in Pennsylvania to visit.

Ranked at number one in TheTravel.com's Top 10 List of "The 10 Most Beautiful Towns In Pennsylvania You Should Visit," is our own county seat, Doylestown.

"Philadelphia may be one of the most exciting cities to visit in Pennsylvania — but there are a number of small towns in the surrounding area that are definitely worth exploring, too," says the website. "One such spot is the Bucks County gem, Doylestown, a scenic haven whose picturesque, historic, and cultural attractions make it a perennial fave for both PA visitors and residents looking for a fun day (or weekend!) away."
