Getting around Northern Neck

Transit, drive-time reality, greenways, airports, rail, and daily mobility tradeoffs.

Lancaster County

The lower Neck on the Rappahannock. Kilmarnock, Irvington, and White Stone form the region's retail and dining hub, with deepwater creeks running to the river and the bay.

Area mobility

Northumberland County

The county at the bay-front tip of the Neck, with Heathsville as its seat. Reedville's menhaden fleet still works the Chesapeake, and the Great Wicomico, Coan, and Yeocomico rivers carve the shoreline into deepwater necks.
