Northumberland County, Virginia

Northumberland County Location Map Virginia

Northumberland County is where Virginia meets the Chesapeake Bay. It’s all about the water here. Seriously. The county has more miles of shoreline than any other in the state.

Fishing boats are everywhere along the horizon. Oysters are a big deal and some say they’re the best in the world. The land’s flat, but don’t let that fool you. There’s beauty in those open fields and quiet coves.

History runs deep. The county is older than the country itself. Reedville is worth a visit. It was once the wealthiest town in America, if you can believe it. Things move slower here. That’s by design. People come to escape the rat race. Some never leave.
