Northern
Neck Tourism
Welcome to Virginia's Northern Neck, a peninsula nestled between
the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers and spilling into
the Chesapeake Bay. Our first tourist in 1608, Captain John
Smith, referred to it "as a place heaven and earth never
agreed better to frame man's habitation." George Washington
simply called it "the Garden of Virginia." Just
a short drive from Washington, DC (2-3 hrs), Fredricksburg
(1 1/2 hrs), Richmond (1 hr) Pennsylvania (3-4 hrs), and Norfolk
(2 hrs), the Northern Neck is rich in history on both the
land and the water. Little has changed since Colonial times.
Large working farms and historic villages abound with folklore
and history. Take the wine trail or antique tour while you
enjoy a day or weekend. But most of all, enjoy the timeless
appeal and rural charm of Virginia's Northern Neck and its
people. www.northernneck.org |
