Clifford W.’s Land, Virginia
on 1 response
Lightwood Forest is an ancient forest of mixed beech, oak, poplar and other hardwoods in rural Surry County Virginia. It is some of the earliest settled land in English North America. The stream that runs through it was the original southern boarder of the land given by Chief Powhatan to his daughter Pocahontas, and her husband John Rolf as a wedding gift. Their son Thomas's house was somewhere on the property or on a neighboring field.
The forest is magnificent, and an example of a dwindling ecosystem in Tidewater Virginia. There are many possible camping sites on the 110 acres.
On the property stands Lightwood House, the 18th century home of a Revolutionary Soldier and his family. The house is available for overnight stays, or as a central meeting place for campers and guests. The property is only rented to one party

On the property stands Lightwood House, the 18th century home of a Revolutionary Soldier and his family. The house is available for overnight stays, or as a central meeting place for campers and guests. The property is only rented to one party at a time, with exclusive use of the property. The house is a sort of time machine, but with all modern comforts.
Lightwood provides lovers of history and nature the opportunity to enjoy both- either as campers or house guests. It is unique and rare opportunity to escape the 21st century to a haven of peace, quiet and solitude.
