Richmond City County Travel Guide

Virginia

Maymont mansion is a 19th century estate frozen in time! It takes you back to that era with its gilded age mansion, gardens and acres of land. You get an insight into the extravagant life of the rich aristocrat family as well as the servants who worked on their estates. It is a wonderful place to take in the beauty of nature and essence of history!

Japanese Garden lake at Maymont in Richmond, VA.
The Manchester climbing wall park is one of my new favorite spots in Richmond, VA. To get here, find the Flood Wall Walk near Legend Brewing Co and follow the path! When you get the the climbing wall, head towards the river.
On a recent snow day, I took a walk along the Flood Wall, and found myself under the Manchester Bridge that spans the James River in Richmond. This bridge was built to replace the old Ninth Street Bridge, which was susceptible to flood damage (you can see the ruins of this bridge in the left side of the photo if you look close enough). #architecture
