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.
