Where is the supermarket in Woodstock? I can think of one small grocery heading west out of town, but nothing big.
As someone from out-of-state, if I had to retire and pick one, I would opt for Manchester.
Both are beautiful, both are touristy, Manchester is a bit more commercial. I don't know the differences in RE taxes between the two, though.

It is now a Macs I think. Used to be a Grand Union. On right headed EAST out of town. Before the funny little diner and the "big" turn.
Manchester seems to have more art/theatre type of activities. Many people live in Dorset, if they can afford it. It is only a few miles from Manchester, yet is much more quiet and has a private golf course and the Dorset Theatre. |

Dorset is a very pleasant area. Great Farmers Market, too! |

And how cool is it to drive by the Dorset quarry and watch the local kids swimming and jumping.  |

I forgot to acknowledge that! I knew the spot but got myself turned around. |

I love the quarry...not so much for swimming, but for walking about and reading the years of graffiti etched into the stone. We brought some visiting friends to the Dorset farmers market and then stopped by the quarry on our way home with our goodies. It was early July yet the air temperature was still a bit too chilly. All passed on going swimming in the quarry. |

Perhaps about 15 mins from Malfunction Junction on Route 30. It is held on Sundays...I believe from 10-2...please double check. |
