Sperryville sits where US 211 begins the climb to Thornton Gap, which makes it the most flexible base in our area. The Nethers lots for Old Rag are to the south, Skyline Drive is straight up the hill, and the village itself has a distillery, a cellar brewery, a diner and a taproom within a mile of each other.
