Walking around Town

Walking and Biking
from Black Badger Inn

Williamsburg is a definitely ideal location for year-round walking, jogging, and hiking. And Black Badger Inn has an ideal vantage situated a few blocks from the western entrance of Colonial Williamsburg. Immerse yourself in a historical walk around Colonial Williamsburg, or stretch your legs to include The College of William and Mary, and other scenic spots.

At sunrise, midmorning, after viewing the sites, after a long day the car, or even a candlelight stroll, you will agree that there are few places that make walking so enjoyable and relaxing as Williamsburg.

Joggers can chart out runs of any length (typical between 2-6 miles). Local maps are available. Colonial Williamsburg offers a "Jogger’s Guide" that traces a 2.2 mile run around the village. The tri-fold map can be found at the Visitor’s Center or other official locations. The guide also states, that for "longer runs, it is 9 miles along the Colonial Parkway to Jamestown and 13 miles along the Colonial Parkway to Yorktown." (not something I would recommend, but possible! -- this would be more of a biking route).

Biking around Williamsburg is fantastic. The level terrain, and mild weather makes Williamsburg a biking community for at least 10 months of the year. There is an old single lane road that goes down to the Carter's Grove Plantation (closed for now -- but the road is still available for biking and jogging. Biking around the historic areas is especially fun, since you get all the ambience of history and the fun of being outdoors.
