The Plains

Among the communities of Virginia, The Plains stands out for its deep connection to steeplechasing at Great Meadow, host of the Virginia Gold Cup. Set in Fauquier County’s rolling Piedmont, with the Bull Run Mountains to the east, the settlement has a compact historic centre along John Marshall Highway. Each spring, the Gold Cup brings horse racing, tailgating and a long-established Virginia sporting tradition to the surrounding countryside; Great Meadow also hosts equestrian events through the year. The Plains belongs to horse country extending toward Middleburg and the Blue Ridge foothills.
