If you're in search of some serious biking, jogging or just a good long walk through some of Virginia's scenic countryside, try the W&OD Railroad Regional Park. This 45 mile trail replaced the railroad tracks that ran east-west across Loudoun County and has revived the old village of Ashburn. Now joggers, cyclists, dog-walkers and moms pushing strollers have replaced the smoke-belching steam engines of old.
Come spend a quite day in the Virginia countryside exploring the towns to the east and west of Ashburn at your own pace.
The trail is no more than a 10 minutes from the Homewood Suites Dulles North so come spend the weekend with us and get to see another side of Loudoun County and one that very few our our guests get to experience.
