Many trails are comfortable for the novice or those taking children along, while some challenge the more advanced hiker. Some fun ways to explore the great outdoors in the Northern Neck are by kayak or canoe. Guided tours also are available. Horseback riders will be in their element at Breezewood Farms in Irvington, which has guided rides along trails and Western riding lessons. Shopping As in the rest of the locales we've encountered in our Bay exploration, shopping in the Northern Neck leans toward antiques and gifts.
Many shops mix the old with the new to create an intriguing shopping experience.
Another possibility is Commonwealth Antiques in Wicomico Church. Art connoisseurs should visit Horn Harbor Studio in Burgess, which features the works of artist May Lou Hann. Her area of expertise is Chesapeake Bay watercolors. Left Bank Gallery in Hague has Bay and wildlife limited-edition prints. Those hunting for regional books will enjoy Twice Told Tales in Kilmarnock.
