There are plenty of scenic trails to explore in Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and the nearby Shenandoah National Park, with options for visitors of all backgrounds and abilities. A great place for day hikes, the Shenandoah National Park includes 500 miles of beautiful trails and 200,000 acres of protected lands.
Charlottesville Downtown Mall
Charlottesville and Albemarle County have a thriving arts and culture scene with everything from big name performers to celebrated local artists. In fact, the legendary Dave Matthews started his band while bartending on the Downtown Mall and today regularly plays sold out shows in Charlottesville.

At Boar’s Head Resort, we celebrate what endures — the beauty of the land, the hospitality of our people, the grace of our traditions. Here, the borders between past and future, between rest and play, between serenity and energy dissolve away. A stay at Boar’s Head invites guests to explore our network of nature trails. Go out and tour the historic mountain town of Charlottesville, or stay on property and enjoy our state-of-the-art racquet and fitness club. You can renew body and soul at our spa, then savor the fare at one of our fine-dining establishments.
"The Corner" - UVA
When Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia in the last few years of his life, he established much more than just a school. Jefferson's college, removed and separate from nearby Charlottesville, became a village unto itself known as University, Virginia. An entire community grew up within and around the precincts of the institution. The commercial hub of that community - the downtown of University, Virginia - has always been the area known as "The Corner."
