Why visit Goochland?
Where can you find a scenic countryside, a rich history, and beautiful natural resources close to Richmond? Consider Goochland County Virginia. Take a drive west from Richmond, toward Charlottesville. Drive along River Road West, and take in the many vistas of green farmlands and pastures. Enjoy the views of the James River along the way where the woodlands give way to open pastures. Bike and explore the many country roads that wind past corn fields and gardens. Stop in at one of the restaurants, coffee shops or country stores as you pass through the village areas such as Goochland Village.
  Take a kayak or canoe trip down the James River. Watch the wildlife, fish or just let your mind wander and imagine yourself steering a batteau in the late 1700’s, delivering your cargo of goods to Richmond.
Play golf at one of the many golf courses in Goochland. Come and join us as we celebrate country living at the Goochland Spring Festival or days gone by at Field Days Of The Past. Enjoy great food, watch the crowds, sample local wines and cheer the polo teams at the Cadillac Commonweatlh Cup Polo match.
