Why go on a Virginia tour?
Whether you are travelling alone, with family, or with friends, prepare for a scenic and inspirational adventure during your visit to Virginia. From scenic drives, welcoming shores and a varied selection of historical landmarks, there are plenty of things for everyone to see! You may begin your tour in the tranquil setting of Mabry Mill, found to be one of the most photographed spots in the country. Featuring restored gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shops, this quaint area stands as a nice reminder of rural life back then. So don’t forget to bring your camera while you are here! Afterward, visit the Natural Bridge, a 215-foot high arch once owned by Thomas Jefferson. George Washington’s initials are still visible from the cliff side, from his work as a young surveyor – a truly inspiring sight for anyone visiting. Descend 34 stories and explore the deep caverns on the East Coast. On the way you will pass by what is known as Butterflies at the Bridge, so take time to marvel at the sight of a hundred-something colourful, exotic wings fluttering together. During your Virginia tour, make sure to also drop by Abingdon Historical District, located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Highlands of Southwest Virginia. Take a stroll along the area and come across its vast collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century domestic and commercial buildings. Get transported back into time as you observe the variety of architectural styles and forms available. Also visit the 30-mile oceanfront Virginia Boardwalk, and take part in its free, family-friendly events that take place every weekend from late spring to early fall.
