Take the Scenic Route

There's no better way to discover the legendary landscape of the Bluegrass than by driving or cycling the country roads around Lexington, the Horse Capital of the World. Lush pastures, mile after mile of plank and stone fencing, horses grazing, magnificent homes and barns—they're all waiting for you just a few minutes outside of Lexington.
