If your trip to Jamestown is all locked in but your itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Jamestown?

Accepted Answer

If you have a bit of extra time and you're happy to travel 16 miles, check out Fortrose. This happening destination offers plenty to see and do. Fort George should be at the top of your list here. Chanonry Point Lighthouse and Fortrose Cathedral are fantastic attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you toward Cromarty, 19 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it's Fort George. (But we'd also recommend Chanonry Point Lighthouse and Fortrose Cathedral.)

Question 5

What kind of rental car should I get for Jamestown?

Prestige vehicles offer the best in mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not book a high-end SUV, or perhaps a stylish mid-size sedan?
