Any personal experiences?

I m always amazed at how peaceful the gardens are. Same goes for the New River Path: it s only a stone s throw away from Wightman, but a haven of nature and tranquility.

Hi - I’m thinking of buying on Wightman Road too. Are the trains really loud to the back of the houses? Is the road really busy? How’s parking? Is it a nice road to live on? Sorry for all the questions, you seem the best person to ask! Thank you x

When Del. Tony Wilt, R-Rockingham, introduced a budget amendment funding a study on creating a new 43-mile long rail trail in the Shenandoah Valley, the odds of the proposal making it into the final budget for the governor to sign looked slim.
After Wilt’s amendment was stricken from the House version of the budget, the idea appeared doomed.
However, thanks to the efforts of his regional ally, Sen. Emmet Hanger, R-Augusta, the measure made it into the Senate’s budget to be adopted by the two bodies’ conference committee in October. Now, a longshot proposal with broad popularity is set to take its first official step towards becoming a reality.
