Farmville is situated in the middle of High Bridge Trail, an old train bridge built in 1853 as part of the Southside Railroad, which crosses the Appomattox River basin. Once a rail bed, the 31-mile, 125-foot-high trail offers flat, level riding with impressive views. It is the longest recreational bridge in Virginia and one of the longest recreational bridges in the country. Prince Edward-Gallion State Forest and U. S. Bicycle Route 1 are nearby as well.
Repair in nearby Lynchburg at Blackwater Bike Shop. Popular stops in Farmville include Walker’s Diner on Main Street, a mainstay since 1955, and Charley’s Waterfront Café & Wine Bar, located where the trail crosses Main Street. The Inn on the Avenues is a great place for an overnight stay.
