Berkeley Springs, West Virginia For more than two centuries, folks have traveled to the tiny mountain town of Berkeley Springs to soak up warm mineral waters for the health of it. Friendly, safe, affordable and less than two hours from metro Washington and Baltimore, Berkeley Springs offers state-of-the-art spas, unique shops and local arts, all surrounded by West Virginia's splendid outdoors. The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax's public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation's smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country's First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia's splendid outdoors. Examine spa history at the Museum of the Berkeley Springs, also in the park. Self-guided tours introduce both the Town of Bath's original owners (circa 1776) -- including our first president -- and historic sites throughout the county. Several B&B's and a Castle built for love provide remnants of the town's popularity as a Victorian spa. There are Civil War sites and the railroad town of Paw Paw with its world famous C&O Canal tunnel, hand carved in the late 1840s.
