Floyd County
is one of the most picturesque destinations along the Blue Ridge
Parkway with over 40 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway within its borders, more than any other county in Virginia.
Included within Floyd's rustic boundries is fully operational Mabry Mill,
one of the most celebratedly photographed locations on the eastern
seaboard.
While still providing a haven for the
determined homesteader, Floyd County shares its still active agrarian
based rural community roots with a burgeoning music and arts
colony as its population expands .
For the traveler with the "eye" of a photographer,
the appreciation of an artist or especially for anyone who is a lover of
nature and who has a preference for a natural, unspoiled environment,
Floyd County provides all of this in abundance. Floyd County's citizens provide the typical
hospitality inherent in the friendly, unhurried nature of the people
of this unique Southwest Virginia community. With the Blue Ridge Parkway
creating Floyd County's eastern border,vacationers from all 50 states and from
around the world come to this very special place in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Floyd County is an easily accessible destination. As the Blue
Ridge Parkway forms its eastern border and Interstate 81 is only 10 miles
from its western border, any drive to Floyd County is a drive through naturally beautiful landscapes and along history's footpaths.
State Routes 8 and 221 intersect in the center
of the town of Floyd (county seat ) at Floyd County's one and only
permanent traffic light.

This
is not a total coverage of listings of tourism related businesses in
this area any longer. Not all tourism/visitor related venues and
businesses are listed. Perhaps the business has chosen not to list on FTD again or perhaps they've gone out of business.
Or, it may be that Floyd Tourism Directory has removed it and will no
longer carry that business listing. FTD may remove listings of
businesses for a number of reasons including when FTD has received
repeated or multiple complaints about a business and/or learn the
businesses receiving the complaints are uncooperative in terms of
resolving sensible problems incurred by visitors or customers.
After ten years of providing this information for the Floyd County, Va.
area, FTD now only lists those area venues and businesses which have
signed up to be included here that have consistently provided fair
& ethical business and customer service practices based on various
practical modes of discernment.
