Winchester, Virginia


This morning we left the Skyland Resort to drive the remaining miles on Skyline Drive.  We reached the end by early afternoon, with a few stops at various overlooks and one detour to return to see a bear which Maggie and Emma had spotted in the woods (no pics I am afraid).


We drove on to visit the historic centre of the town of Winchester, in Frederick County and explored a little.


The pedestrianised town centre is quite unlike other towns that we have visited and quite closely resembled an English high street with post office, restaurants and small shops in a variety of architectural styles.



For Maggie it was a chance to
Visit the namesake of her old University city.



Some of the houses reminded us of Cornish granite buildings that we have seen in Cornwall.
