Ashland - Virginia - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels

If you want the best barbecue you have ever had, then Ashland, VA should definitely be on your must-visit list. If you do want to have not just fine dining, but elegant dining, then the Ironhorse is the restaurant for you. Everything from the entrée to the dessert is exquisite. Located in the center of Hanover County, this city is affectionately referred to as the center of the universe. It encompasses seven square miles and is home to about 60,000 residents. It is a town established because of the railway development as a resort for Richmond residents and even though it has grown substantially from its early days, it still boasts safe streets where you can bicycle, jog or walk in peace and quiet.

You can walk the path of history as you stroll through the center of town, tour the Randolph-Macon College, see the beautifully preserved historic homes and stop at one of the many boutiques and eateries. You can travel the same paths as Patrick Henry as he spoke the words of the revolution or trace the steps of the great Civil War generals, Grant and Lee as they battled for control of the town.

You can scream as loudly as you want at one of the Daring Dozen roller coasters in the Paramount King's Dominion- a 400 acre amusement park. If you like things a little quieter, you can spend a day fishing, golfing or cycling. There are also many places where you can stay in Ashland from the Days Inn to the Travelodge. The choice depends on your taste and budget.
