Best Views

When it comes to gorgeous views, we’re not sure which one closes the deal: Natural Bridge, the Blue Ridge Parkway, or some wonderful place in between. With country road crisscrossing the whole tableau, Rockbridge County is also easy to explore.

Scenic Drives

Country roads curve through the Shenandoah Valley, linking historic villages and picturesque wineries to the nation’s most popular drive – The Blue Ridge Parkway.

Trails & Walks

Several inviting trails are a short stroll, or easy drive, from downtown Lexington and Buena Vista. Follow the river, wander the woods, or hunt for geo-cached treasures.

Farms & Gardens

For a hands-on culinary adventure, visit a local farm in Rockbridge County. Bite into a juicy pear. Pick your own blackberries. Wander through an old mill. Or simply wave at the cows.
