Welcome to the Eastern Shore of Virginia Heritage Trail. The Trail is a driving tour of the historic, scenic, birding and natural sites in Accomack and Northampton Counties, Virginia, the "land between two waters." The Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay surround our beautiful peninsula and many of our little towns are on the waterfront. Get out of your car and explore the towns and parks on foot. For your convenience, we've divided the tour into 4 easy loops. You can begin and end your visit at any point on any of the loops. Enjoy your visit! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to access our contact information. |
