Lancaster County VA

Kilmarnock on the Northern Neck

Lancaster County VA, bounded by the Corrotoman River and the Chesapeake Bay, is noted for its small town atmosphere, its outdoor recreation, its friendly people and its small shops.



Lancaster County Virginia also has a nice public beach at Windmill Point, on the Chesapeake Bay, where Northern Neck residents can go for a swim.

And, like other Northern Neck counties, Lancaster County is rich in history, and you can see evidence of times past in its buildings, museums and historical sites like Historic Christ Church.

Lancaster County is certainly worth a visit. And it has its own Kilmarnock, right here in Virginia.

  • Historic Christ Church - In colonial Virginia, a church was not only for worship, but also served as a social center and a place for political discussions. Christ Church, built in 1735, is one of the best preserved colonial Virginia churches.

  • Belle Isle State Park - Sitting along the Rappahannock River, this state park is noted for its many different areas.
