Discover the delights of the Shenandoah Valley. We will be glad to provide suggestions, maps and information for you. Some of our favorites are:

Park the car and spend the day in Lexington. Start with a Horse Drawn Carriage Tour, stroll the campuses of Washington & Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute and tour the historic Civil War General Stonewall Jackson House and Cemetery. Take some time to enjoy the great shopping and dining in this lovely historic town.

Settle back in your car and enjoy our favorite local driving tour on one of Virginia’s Scenic Byways.  Visit Cyrus McCormick’s Farm and Workshop, sip some fine wines at the Rockbridge Vineyard, and stop by the Buffalo Springs Herb Farm and Wade’s Mill.  Swing through the  quaint village of Brownsburg, then continue on to Goshen Pass, a stunningly beautiful mountain gorge where you can walk or take a dip in a mountain stream. The Blue Ridge Parkway is also a favorite for driving and easy access to many beautiful hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains, including the Appalachian Trail.

Just a few minutes farther south is Natural Bridge and the Virginia Safari Park, a 180-acre drive-through zoo with animals from six continents.

Horse lovers shouldn’t miss a visit to the Virginia Horse Center.  This state-of-the-art exhibition facility has a wide range of events throughout the year.

Outdoor adventurers – there is plenty to keep you busy!  Hike, bike, golf, ride horseback, canoe, kayak, fly fish…click here for a detailed list of outdoor activities and outfitters.

If you love theatre and the arts…don’t miss a performance at the Lime Kiln Theatre, where a summer evening, a starry sky, rock walls, and an earthen floor combine to provide a unique setting for a fabulous performance at this one-of-a-kind theatre.
