Bristol is about as far north as you can go in the state of Tennessee, and still be in the state! In fact, the Virginia state line runs right through the middle of town! The town of Bristol is located in the middle of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and near Holston Lake. It also has a very pretty, historic downtown district, with a three block area known as the "Commonwealth Antique Section." Here you'll find an antiques mall and a half dozen or so other antiques shops. Although Nashville is known as the center of country music, it is here in Bristol that Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family recorded the first country and western music that was distributed nationwide. Therefore, Bristol has the official title of "The Birthplace of Country Music." Bristol is also home to the "Bristol Motor Speedway," the site of the world's fastest half-mile track and host to several racing events throughout the year. Also, be sure to visit the fascinating Bristol Caverns, which has an underground river and winding trails that take you through several levels of magnificent scenery. The area around Bristol has eight golf courses, several public parks and lakes and the Cherokee National Forest. Visitors enjoy hiking and biking, swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, and there are several snow ski resorts within an hour's drive of Bristol.

Bristol Weather & Climate

The climate of the northeastern Tennessee mountains is temperate with moderately cold winters and warm, humid summers. Precipitation is fairly well distributed throughout the year; as there is no distinct wet or dry seasons. October has the least rainfall, July the most. Snowfall is quite variable from year to year, and some winters have relatively little. Thunderstorms occur anytime of the year, but are most frequent in spring and summer. Summer temperatures are rarely extreme, but the high humidity often makes it seem hotter than it actually is. Snow is minimal in Tennessee except in the higher mountain regions. Severe storms are infrequent in the state, being east of the center of tornado activity, south of most blizzard conditions, and too far inland to be affected by hurricanes.
