Here in Virginia, we love to embrace the outdoors just about any time of year. If you thought winter could keep us indoors all season…think again! One such case of year-round beauty is an architectural marvel known as High Bridge Trail. This noteworthy attraction is all the more spectacular for its incredible view. Walking the bridge, visitors can peer downwards to a stunning landscape of trees, whether they be covered in green, fall foliage, or the stark beauty of winter. Take a look and see what awaits you on your next tree-top adventure.

High Bridge is the crown jewel of a 31-mile-long trail that crosses over the counties of Cumberland, Nottoway and Prince Edward.

The bridge is a former rail bed whose purpose dates back to the Civil War. Today, it soars 125 above the Appomattox River and is one of the longest of its kind in the U.S.
