Pittsboro

Stay at Fearrington Country House Inn, Rosemary Bed & Breakfast, or the Chapel Hill Bed and Breakfast. Visit the downtown Pittsboro during the day and dine at one of our nifty eateries. Drive the historic traffic circle, visit the Courthouse museum, and tour the “big cat” sanctuary of exotic animals.

Jordan Lake, Apex, and Pittsboro

Bike, fish, swim, sunbathe, observe eagles, walk, sail–enjoy the wonders of nature. Stop at the Farmers’ Market in either Pittsboro or at Fearrington (spring through Thanksgiving). Tour the signature gardens at Fearrington and visit the nice variety of shops. Don’t forget to pet the “Belties!”

Bear Creek

Take the scenic byway, Hwy 902 (Devil’s Stomping Ground Highway), and stop for a treat at Southern Supreme Gourmet Confections, NC’s largest fruitcake producer. The adventurer will want to make a stop at Devil’s Tramping Ground (legend has it that the Devil himself makes nightly walks here, keeping the ground sterile and charred as he plots his evil plans).
