Tater Knob Pottery and Farm

Reviewed By gemmac234

We found this quaint little place and thoroughly enjoyed talking with the owners/potters and looking around the gallery. They gave us a very interesting demonstration of what they do. We found several things we had to bring home and will probably either go back or order some pieces from them again. Gorgeous pottery!

Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea

Reviewed By LovesToTravel31 - Rocky River, United States

This is by far the best “rest area” ever. About 1/2 mile off I-75 south of Lexington. It’s exceptionally clean, with a staffed information desk, nice bathrooms, and a great selection of local arts and craft items for sale. There’s also a cafe that offers very reasonably priced hot meals, as well as snacks and drinks, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We’ll definitely stop here again the next time we’re driving through.

Berea Pinnacles

Reviewed By gabriellethornhill - Berea, United States

This area has been a go to since I was a little girl. With lots of trees, butterflies, mushrooms, turtles, and other small animals, the environment is always thriving. These hikes are moderate, varying in times and lengths to complete. This is a popular nature spot in Berea and is recommended for any outdoor lover. I recommend good hiking shoes, and bringing along water as any of these trails are sure to get your heart pumping. The best views are found upon the Indian fort lookout, and the East pinnacle. Dogs are welcome, but leashes are highly appreciated. Enjoy, stay safe, & respect your surroundings ????

This area is really cool due to find local artists with their own shops selling their items. Wood Kitchen tools in the building by the visitor center are great in the kitchen.
