Any trip to scenic Southern Virginia can deliver lush landscapes, verdant vistas and historical charm. Thanks to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the area is filled with opportunities for hiking, biking, boating and fishing, making it unlikely you’ll want to spend much time inside. Southern Virginia is proud of its historical heritage from the Civil War and Revolutionary War, and its small towns are ideal for tapping into its storied past. If you’re not busy snapping photos of your surroundings or immersing yourself in nature, you might be attending a NASCAR race — Southern Virginia is home to six speedways and raceways.
