Country Village

Madison Heights’ Brightwell Mill, Colony, Galts Mill, Joshua Falls and Winesap sit on the east side of the James River, opposite Lynchburg, amid rolling Piedmont terrain and a humid four-season climate. The river shapes the area’s outdoor character, with opportunities for fishing, paddling and riverside walks; nearby trails and open spaces add options for getting outside. Local errands and casual meals center on neighborhood businesses, while Lynchburg offers a broader selection of shops, cafés, restaurants, arts and evening entertainment across the river. The area’s history is tied to the James River and the region’s industrial and agricultural past. Driving is the most practical way to reach services and connect with Lynchburg, though the river corridor also supports recreation by bike and on foot.
