This trail runs for miles through Virginia, and is a favorite with local runners, cyclists and walkers. A great way to avoid traffic lights, there is an entrance a few blocks down from the house on Lee Highway.

Food scene

A description of places to eat near the house, with a few standouts that are farther afield but worth the trip.
Delicious pies and other treats, with limited indoor and outdoor seating. The menu changes daily (the website is updated throughout the day, so you can check what has sold out!). We love the fruit scones (usually gone by 10 am), the chicken pot pie, and their varied menu of fruit pies. They make both small and large pies, as well as a selection of savory options, like quiche.

This is a hidden park, which you can find by walking down Pollard Street and turning into what looks like an alley, but in fact is a paved path to a playground and green space. Very tranquil and secluded.
