Colonial Parkway
The Colonial Parkway is a scenic roadway in Virginia that connects the historic sites of Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. Stretching about 23 miles, it was designed to blend with the natural landscape, offering beautiful views of the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding areas. The parkway is part of the Colonial National Historical Park and is popular for leisurely drives, biking, and walking.
Constructed in the 1930s, the Colonial Parkway features a unique design that minimizes the impact of modern infrastructure. It includes several overlooks and picnic areas, allowing visitors to enjoy the rich history and natural beauty of the region. The parkway is also a designated route for exploring the Historic Triangle of Virginia.
