This Tiny Town In Virginia Is The Perfect Place To Hibernate All Winter Long
Temperatures are dropping in Virginia and, despite the incredible winter activities available, sometimes we can’t help but give into our instincts to hibernate all season long. Luckily, there are plenty of scenic places to do so, allowing for temporary winter solace. One such town is equal parts tiny and spectacular. Nestled in the southwest region of the state, Abingdon offers rest, relaxation, and even a little adventure. So if you’re craving a place to bunker down for at least a long weekend this season, we’ve found the place for you.
Welcome to Abingdon, a peaceful town tucked away in the Blue Ridge Highlands of Southwestern Virginia.
Scenic all year round, this is a town that totally transforms in the winter. Just a light dusting of snow creates a magical allure, reaching every corner of this small town of just 8,000.
The scenic Virginia Creeper Trail is frequented by bikers during the warmer months. This 34-mile trail is equally breathtaking during the colder months, too. Take advantage of the quiet and explore the scenery.
Each year, the town rings in the season with its Main Street parade. Although this event has already happened, the spirit of it lasts all winter long.
Whether you're in the mood for a cup of soup or an entire steak, this place serves its menu to perfection. Address: 222 E Main St., Abingdon, VA 24210.
