Shenandoah Valley Location
|
Gleneden
is located in Berryville, Clarke County, Virginia. The farm is about 65 miles west of Washington, DC. and 40 miles from Washington
Dulles International Airport. Interstate 81, which runs from the Canadian border to Tennessee, is just a short distance away
from the rolling hills and miles of board fence at Gleneden. Visitors are welcome by appointment. We are an easy and beautiful
destination. |

Many Civil War battle sites and monuments are in the immediate area and three important
historic residencies: Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, James Madison's Montpelier and James Monroe's Ash Lawn-Highland plantation
are less than 100 miles south. Also in the immediate area is Blandy Farm the home of the State Arboretum of Virginia, displaying
more than 8,000 trees and woody shrubs. The collections include more than half the world’s pine species, the Virginia
Native Plant Trail, the Boxwood Memorial Garden, a spectacular grove of more than 300 ginkgo trees, an herb garden featuring
culinary, medicinal and ornamental herbs, and much more.

Most of the leading motel chains are located in Winchester
which is only about 15 minutes from Gleneden. The most elegant is the George Washington Hotel (Wyndham Hotels) in Winchester.
There are also a number of B&B’s in the area. The charming "Lost Dog" B&B is in the town of
Berryville. It has a friendly Gleneden mascot (Sirius). For fine dining, we recommend The Battletown Inn in Berryville
and La Nicoise in Winchester. |
