Rugby, TN---A Lovely Corner of God's Earth!!!!





This weekend Jeff and I took a much needed little trip to one of our favorite weekend get aways, The Newberry Bed and Breakfast in Rugby, TN. It is impossible to deny our creator in a beautiful place like Rugby.

A Brief Description of Rugby, TN--- Rugby is a tiny historic town founded in the late 1800's by a British man named Thomas Hughes. The Newberry B&B was the first boarding house in Rugby established in 1880.

Things to do in or around Rugby--

1. Visit the Highland Manor Winery--a good place to sample wine and yummy cheese.

2. There are a lot of hiking trails and I believe some places not too far from there to go horseback riding. We hiked down to the Gentlemans swimming hole-- Jeff actually got in, but quickly got out after he saw a crawdad:)--by the way he was screaming I thought there was a big poisonous snake swimming by him!!

3. Take a tour of some of the original Victorian style buildings--schoolhouse, library, and church. We also attended the Episcopal church on Sunday morning. The have had services there continuously since 1880--kind of interesting, but made me have a new appreciation for fbc's music!!

4. Eat at the Harrow Road Cafe--they feature some interesting British dishes and homestyle cooking.

Thats about it! There is not much to do there other than relax, enjoy nature, and reconnect to one another.
