The ruins itself aren't very impressive but are a short walk from the parking area. The nearby looping hikes are worth the walk though. There are some great scenic views.

We hiked 3 mikes in the Madame Sherrie/ann stokes trail on Sunday. Returned to our car with rock thrown through window. Several other vehicles also,broken into and damaged. Quick cash, wallets, and phones were stolen. State Police and chief of west chesterfield were called and were very helpful to,our needs. Just a fair warning. Other than that, it was a... More

Being only twenty minutes off our route we were surprised with how off the beaten path it was. After driving several miles on a winding dirt road we arrived.... More
