Williamsburg Pottery

This is a one stop place. I've been going here every summer as a kid when I lived in Norfolk. I went back 2 years ago and it's still great.

It is a 200 acre property with 32 buildings. Each store showcases world products. It is divided into 2 sections.

One section contains pottery and craft products. There is even a Christmas store. All the way in the back of the last building is a room that sells beer from all over the world. One thing to be careful of is that some are old stock. We found that out when we bought a few Hobgoblin beers.

To get to the other section you go by way of an underground tunnel. You could also get in your car and drive all the way around to the other side. The other section has clothing and luggage. There is a Pepperidge Farm store where I get my Goldfish supply, yummy. Both areas have food stalls and diners.

Be sure to get there early if you want to check out every store. You may have to make it a two day trip. And don't forget to wear comfortable walking shoes.
