If you are interested in exploring an unusual part of Richmond, I suggest the Pipeline Walkway. This catwalk runs on top of a drainage pipe and under a railway.

Lexington 2020
Two years ago, I took a trip to Lexington with my husband (then fiancé) and my in-laws. We had a great time exploring the area in the few days we were in town. I would highly recommend a visit to Old Friends (a farm for retired racing horses) and the Town Branch Distillery.
