Perhaps no words are necessary. Very close to my house by car. Don't miss the Mulberry Row tour of the former slave quarters and histories of each slave's part in the design, building and running of Monticello. Also, garden tour is amazing -- all plants to the originals in Jefferson's daily diary.
AND, the Monticello Trail:
There is a 4 mile walking trail. Park in Monticello lot and find trail near Monticello Guest Services. Will then have access to restrooms & cafe before or after your walk....
