The Eastern Panhandle Region of West Virginia
The Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia is a beautiful part of country that is often over looked. It is a stretch of three counties - Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan - in the northeastern part of the state, bordering Maryland and Virginia.
This part of West Virginia is nestled in the country, but so close to the conveniences and interesting sites of the city. It is an easy drive of about an hour to the Baltimore/Washington Metro Area.
