Another important asset of the county is tourism. The county's northern regions, colloquially referred to as Upper Bucks, are known for their natural scenery, farmland, colonial history, and proximity to major urban areas, including [[Philadelphia]], [[New York City]], [[Allentown, Pennsylvania|Allentown]], [[Reading, Pennsylvania|Reading]], and [[Atlantic City]], each of which is within a two-hour driving radius.

Bucks County is home to twelve [[covered bridges]]. Ten are still open to vehicular traffic; two others, located in parks, are open only to non-vehicular traffic. All Bucks County bridges use the [[Town truss]] design. Schofield Ford Bridge, in [[Tyler State Park (Pennsylvania)|Tyler State Park]], was reconstructed in 1997 from the ground up after arsonists destroyed the original in 1991.<ref>[http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM55XZ_Schofield_Ford_Covered_Bridge__Newtown_PA Waymarking GPS page about history of Schofield Ford Bridge] Retrieved October 13, 2010</ref>
