Town of Round Hill
A genteel town of tree-shaded streets lined with beautiful residential homes as well as former lodges and boarding houses dating back to the 1880s-1920s, Round Hill was once a popular summer vacation spot on the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad. The train has long gone but an active, outdoorsy atmosphere endures. Hikers are drawn to the Appalachian Trail that runs along the spine of the Blue Ridge just west of town, and locals and visitors enjoy the artisanal products and fresh produce of the surrounding farming community.
Hike the Appalachian Trail's Famous “Rollercoaster”
A short, swooping stretch of the Appalachian Trail runs through the Blue Ridge just west of Round Hill. Hike it to the Blackburn Trail Center, a rustic 1910-built lodge and refreshment station owned by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club that is available for rent outside of peak hiking season.
Before heading up, stop by Round Hill Farm to Trail Co. for great coffee, ice cream, sandwiches and local provisions. They are also your trailhead for gear and essentials. Whether you're hiking the Appalachian Trail, biking Loudoun's back roads or just heading out for a day in the hills, they've got you covered.
