Ashburn

In Ashburn, newer planned communities have sprung up around the historic village center, where visitors will find great shopping and dining opportunities. The W&OD trail borders Ashburn and has revived the old village, replacing the train with cyclists, joggers, dog walkers, and moms pushing strollers. What used to be open farmland as recently as the 1980s is now a major hi-tech, commercial and residential district, home to chic lifestyle precincts, dining and entertainment complexes and sprawling data centers.
