Bland County, Virginia

Bland County sits in the southwestern part of Virginia, right along the state border with West Virginia. It’s a small place, but don’t let that fool you. The county has some serious natural beauty going on.
The Appalachian Trail runs right through here. Locals love their outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and more. Quiet. Peaceful. The kind of place where you can hear yourself think.
The county is named after Richard Bland, a politician from way back. Not much hustle and bustle here, which is exactly how folks like it. Historians might dig the old railroad stuff scattered around. It’s rural living at its finest, really.
