As someone who grew up in Ashburn, I am very familiar with the Broadlands nature reserve. I love…read morehow for years, despite the town and county's plans to tear up the fields, trees, and wildlife for more and more data centers and townhouses for a never-ending, growing population, one thing has been constant and that's this small park. I've come here for years and despite possibly making a fool of myself with this statement, I must say this park is one of my top spots to visit even as a man in his thirties. There's a feeling of peace when walking the perimeter of the pond and being able to listen to the bugs, ducks, and toads over the now usual sound of passing vehicles, their horns as well as builder/landscaper equipment. There is parking on the side of the street and trash can facilities for those who know how to dispose of their waste correctly. They added doggie bags for dog walkers and i always notice on my visits the many walkers and joggers that want to excercise while also taking in the beauty of this nature preserve. I can only pray the Ashburn community can continue to prevent the property developers (responsible for the thousands of townhouses and data centers) from destroying this park for another complex.

Our tour guide was great at explaining the history of the house and all the people who lived here. She explained the uses of each room and what was authentic.

Our tour group had about 6 people, so it was quiet and easy to ask questions if we had them. It was a nice little site and window into life in the 19th century.

It is a historical site that was the plantation home of Richard Bland Lee, Northern Virginia's first Representative to Congress, and his wife Elizabeth Collins Lee. It was built in 1794. It is a huge complex, covering 65 acres. It is an adequate parking lot and is well maintained. The site has a bookstore/visitor's center/gift shop. There are some picnic tables near this building where you can sit, eat, and or relax, some of which are shaded. You will also find some building structures at the site that that include the main house, a smokehouse, which you will see fake meat hanging from the overhead, and a replica slave quarter. If you are driving here, there are two parking lots for you to park. You will find a ton of green space, some trails, and additional picnic tables by the main house. I like that this site does not shy away from its slavery past. It faces it head on and pays tribute to those that were enslaved. I like this site. It provides a bit of a history lesson through informational placards placed along the grounds. Gives hikers an opportunity to explore and work out, and is also a place of peace and relaxation. The site has a decent event schedule that includes: Dairy Days-Ice Cream Making & Butter, Peaches and Cream, A Visit With Santa, Colorful Pumpkins, Making a Scarecrow, classic car shows, and various scout merit badge opportunities. In addition to all of that, they offer tours. There is always something going on here. It was pretty chill and laid back during my visit. There were not a lot of people there. This is a neat place to check out. You could spend about 2 hours here exploring.

The path leads to a fork in the road which is a circle within the countryside that also leads to views of Bull Run mountain. Address says Leesburg although the majority of the park is more in the Aldie area. When the sun is out, this park glistens and gleams with the well-maintained cut grass and trimmed bushes. The pathways are clear allowing for clear views of the beautiful blue skies and sounds of nature.

Wow, I am glad I didn't look at the reviews before going. I'm really surprised it gets such a low…read morerating but from reading what people have to say..it looks like it is because of the ticks. I went in January so I didn't run into that problem. It is grassy, meadowlike trails, so I can see where in the warm months there could be ticks. So many trails to get lost on and enjoy the natural beauty. I read there are 20 miles of trails and that in the spring the fields are filled with wildflowers. The trails are fairly easy hiking. Mostly flat with some small inclines from time to time but like I said, mostly meadow hiking. The only thing I wish was different was clearer signage around the trailheads. It took me awhile to figure out where certain trails began and where to access them. Once you're on them they are clearly marked. I've lived here all my life and this is certainly a hidden gem.

Lots of creatures live outdoors. LoL. Be prepared. You should apply sunscreen and then apply your bug spray. Wear socks that you can roll up if the grass gets high or roll down as needed. I have 50 hair ties in my bookbag. It gets hot, hair goes up. Don't hate it here because nature got the best of you. Try again in the fall. That's my plan anyway. The bugs were hungry today for sure. I spayed the first 10 min here and then I had to spray again an hour later! They bite thru your clothes so spray your clothing as well. I have never had issues w/ticks. Luckily they don't like me. IDK why but I spray my shoes too just in case. The trails are very well maintained. Mostly they are in the sun but there's a fair share if shady trails also. I did have some issues on the white oak trail. I had to stop and look for it at one point. It just faded out. Also on the White Oak trail I caught all the spider webs w/my body so thank me later! I felt like a cocoon coming off that trail. Yeck. I see they are growing trees and also put in some goats to keep the vegetation back. It's quite invasive for sure. So, yes I think fall would be nice. No bugs, less invasive plants and no leaves on the trees means I can see the view of Bull Run Mtn that much better. I enjoyed exploring this place. I'm pretty sure I'll be back.
