Berkeley Plantation - beautiful gardens leading down to river


Berkeley Plantation Gardens

Beautiful landscaping leading down to a panorama view of the wide James river.


Nearby Shirley Plantation has interesting archicture, many antiques, and an unusual "unsupported" three story staircase, but not as nice grounds. If you only have time to do one, our choice would be Berkeley.

The furthest driving time away of all of the Virginia vacation beach attractions we show pictures of here, but worth the drive. (Approx 2/3 hr on past Williamsburg - scenic drive.)

 Yorktown Battlefield 2nd Siege Line - Peaceful scenic countryside now!
Yorktown Battlefield 2nd Siege Line - Peaceful scenic countryside now! They moved a lot of dirt without help of machinery to build these fortifications. These entrenched concentrations of firepower had much to do with the British Surrender.



Artillery and the Siege" Stop on Yorktown Battlefield driving/walking tour
"Artillery and the Siege" Stop on Yorktown Battlefield driving/walking tour.
Major reason allies were able to defeat British at Yorktown.

Virginia discount travels vacation beaches TipTip: Tip: Buy or rent the audio CD as well as get the brochure describing the route and all the stops. The CD is well done and makes it much more interesting.

(We had a peacefu; picnic lunch there - many friendly ducks on lake.)
Virginia discount travels vacation beaches TipTip: Take a free guided museum tour if you can arrange to be there M - F at 11 or 1:30. (Sometimes can vary depending on availability of Volunteer Guides.) Well informed Guides can tell you much more than is on display signs. Interesting ship models & figureheads + much more. (Don't miss the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor restoration exhibit - you will see it on a tour.) This is really a great museum! Allow at least 2-3 hours.
