The Berkshires is comprised of 32 towns and if you were to traverse it
from tail to tip it would take you about an hour and a ½. In order to make
navigating the Berkshire region simpler we have created the map above. This
map divides our region into 3 parts: North, Central and South and also lists
the towns within each of these divisions. To further help you in your Berkshire
travels this Guide references North, Central and South in all of its listings
allowing you to have a better understanding of exactly where each business
lies within the County.
