Third Battle of Winchester Trail & Old Town Winchester Shop & Lunch

Let's walk through history on a beautiful trail in Winchester, Virginia, and then go get lunch and shop at Old Town in Winchester. We will meet at the fence at the parking lot where the trail begins at 10:00 am and walk for a couple of hours, then head over to Old Town in Winchester and shop and choose a place for lunch. This is a beautiful trail, very peaceful with little foot traffic. Hopefully it will be sweatshirt weather where we can enjoy being outdoors.

Old Town offers different ways to park, I have put below info to choose how to park when we arrive.

Pay By Cell at OTW Parking Meters

All of downtown’s 586 meters have the Pay by Cell option (on-street and in lots). For more information visit: http://www.winchesterva.gov/parking/pay-by-cell. Parking meters will still accept coins and most cost $0.75 per hour. With Parkmobile, customers can pay by cell instead of looking for quarters to feed the meter. Customers also have the option to extend their stay through the Parkmobile app instead of having to return to the meter. A $0.40 convenience fee is charged per transaction.

Customers can pay for parking on their mobile devices using Parkmobile’s mobile applications for iPhone, Android and Windows 7. Additionally, customers can use Masterpass, PayPal, Visa Checkout, Chase Pay, Parkmobile Wallet, and coming soon – Apple Pay, to pay for parking.
