- Vicki O14 contributionsI love history and Rosewell Ruins was a great stop on a weekend trip. Beautiful ruins and surrounding area. Quaint museum. Would love to go back for the ghost tour!Written April 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- rockdoctor48Norfolk, VA107 contributionsThis park is young and it is on the York River. There is an old farm house that is being restored. At the time of my visit it was not opened to visitors but it has been opened at times in the past so you might get lucky to see the inside during a visit. The trails were a nice easy hike and much was on grass.There are restrooms and water available.
They have a small pier out into the river but no fishing is allowed.Written June 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DannyWassermanVirginia Beach, VA4,584 contributionsIf you are ever in the area and you want to take in some rich history of Southeast Virginia, stop by the Downtown Gloucester Historic area and take it all in.

- Joan FMathews, VA43 contributionsSplashing about in the water and jogging across the sandy beach, Gloucester Point Beach Park is a great place to enjoy a lazy afternoon in the summer.

- BWG_GloVaGloucester, VA112 contributionsMany stories of years gone by waiting to be discovered in this farmhouse, resting atop Holly Hill, along a country road between Gloucester and Mathews County.

- ewhubbardRichmond, VA120 contributionsFishing Pier is free to the public. No fishing license required. Can get busy during peak fishing times. No benches, bring a camping chair.

- Melanie S5 contributionsI've lived in Gloucester for 13 years and never been to this park. We learned a lot about local history. Many of the signs were hard to read because it looks as if they need cleaned. But otherwise the park is well-maintained. It would be nice if the park had bathrooms.Written August 29, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Buddy JWilliamsburg, VA18 contributionsA very informative history (of the Gloucester County area) and a very interested docent to greet and offer some directions. There is a good historical background on the Revolutionary War taking place in the county.
Would recommend for an hour visit and then a walk next door to the Courthouse Square.Written December 16, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Still had a great time. Great activities for young children. Only suggestion iabto take the PLU stickers off the pumpkins that have been placed in the fields.Written October 29, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
