14 Best NC Small Towns for Road Trips this Summer

Now that it is summer, I find myself looking for places for day trips on weekends.  One of my favorite parts about writing this blog is that I get to share some of my favorite spots in North Carolina with you.  Over the past few years, I have had a great time exploring local areas to be able to write day trip guides for I’m Fixin’ To.  I am so excited to share some of my favorite North Carolina small towns for road trips this summer.

• Windsor
• Mebane
• Saxapahaw
• Pittsboro
• Fearrington Village
• Swansboro
• Tarboro
• Farmville
• Hillsborough
• Blowing Rock
• Halifax
• Kinston
• Hendersonville
• Belhaven

For my most recent day trip to Tarboro, I loved driving the Land Rover Discovery.  I have driven a few different models of Land Rovers, and the Discovery is such an icon.  I have always loved a sunroof, and this Discovery had a dual moon roof, which is definitely a favorite feature!  Now that the warm weather has hit and is here to stay in North Carolina, the cooling seats feature is a great addition to having heated seats.   I really like having the navigation system displayed on both the dash and the center console.   Check out Land Rover Discovery at Land Rover Cary.

Check out other adventures in Jaguar & Land Rovers here, here, here, here, and here.

Where are your favorite small towns to visit?  DG and I are looking forward to exploring some new places and some of our favorite ones this summer.  Be sure to follow along on Instagram & here to see more of exploring.  We’ll be doing a good mix of areas in both the eastern part of North Carolina, but adding more of the west, too.
