World’s End contradicts the hustle and bustle of nearby Boston. This 251-acre property, owned and managed by the Trustees of the Reservations, is a great place to escape a noisy city atmosphere and relax in nature.
This 251-acre property, owned by the Trustees of Reservations has miles of wide trails and acres of open fields. While the rest of the area is built up, this peninsula offers a welcomed respite from man-made distractions. It’s located in Hingham, MA, just south of Boston.
Benny was absolutely stunned with the views. He was also a bit confused; for some reason, he thought we were going to the United Nations headquarters. I originally had no idea how that got into his head.
Apparently he misread the welcome sign. In the 1940s, it was suggested that World’s End could be the location of the United Nations. Benny was happy that the plan didn’t pan out. A proposal to build a nuclear power plant on the land didn’t work out either.
Unlike other parks, there is an admission fee to enter. When we went, it was $10 per car. It’s a small price to pay to ensure that World’s End is maintained and survives for future generations. Check out the Trustees’ site for current admission info.
At the northern end of the peninsula, we found a beach. We watched the waves and skipped rocks for a little while.
Benny wanted to enjoy the view and pose for a picture.
From our bench, we could see part of the nearby town of Hull. If you’re in the area, you should check out Fort Revere Park.
We enjoyed our visit to World’s End. If you’re looking for peace and tranquility in the Boston area, this is the place to go.
