I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Kentucky is a beautiful state that presents lots of spectacular scenery, depending on where you’re exploring. Northern Kentucky boasts stellar river views and towns; Eastern Kentucky is Appalachia; Central Kentucky is Horse Country; and Western KY is known for its abundance of lakes. And, of course, throughout the state, you’ll find subterranean worlds, Grand Canyons, and much, much more. Today, though, we’re taking a trip through the Central Kentucky countryside; it’s a rural road trip in Kentucky that visits some of the best hidden gems in this beautiful, bucolic part of the Bluegrass.
There’s no better way to explore the best of the Bluegrass than a good, old-fashioned road trip, is there? Did you discover any new hidden gems on this rural road trip in Kentucky? Are there any points of interest you would have included? Share them with us in the comments below!
