With the Blue Ridge Mountains as your guide, there is no better place for hiking and adventure than Loudoun. The Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship offers hiking trails, educational displays, bird walks, wildflower trails, camping and more! If hiking isn’t for you, there are tons of other things to do that will get your adrenaline pumping like cycling at Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park, zip-lining at Harper’s Ferry Adventure Center and Empower Ziplines or shooting paintball at Pev’s Paintball Park!

What are some good B&Bs to stay in for a relaxing weekend?

Fancy hotels can be nice, but it’s also fun to stay in a quaint bed and breakfast instead. With the more intimate and personal touches, it can be the most relaxing and romantic experience. Middleburg Country Inn, Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast and Stone Manor Bed & Breakfast are only a few examples of the many places to retreat for a weekend. Many offer elegant dining options, beautiful rooms and other amenities like an onsite spa at Goodstone Inn & Restaurant or horseback riding for guests at Serene Manor.
