There's plenty to do in Chapel Hill. Some of the key attractions include:
You can also check out these other links to local things of interest:
The centrally located Research Triangle area is bounded by Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Inside or nearby are other places that would be perfect for a side trip.
Ashboro is not far from Chapel Hill on Route 64. This link is not for the city but its main attraction, the North Carolina Zoo.
Burlington is only a few minutes west of Chapel Hill on Route 40. Here's a link to the Burlington web site and to their Things To Do" page.
Durham is only about 10 miles from Chapel Hill and is known as the "City of Medicine". It's also home to Duke University. You may also find its Tourism Web Site interesting.
The Greensboro visitors' site lists several things of interest in that city. Not on that web site, is one of the most interesting (if you are interested in china, crystal, silver, and collectables) is Replacements, Ltd., which offers a wonderful showroom and tours of the facility.
Hillsborough is small town about 30 minutes north of Chapel Hill. It has a rich history and dates back to the America Revolution.
TheVillage of Pinehurst is small town about an hour and 20 minutes from Chapel Hill. Its main attraction is Pinehurst, the world famous golf resort.
Raleigh is the State Capitol and has a wealth of attractions. Here's a list of Things to do in Raleigh. You might also enjoy the State Fair grounds (always something going on there) or the State Farmer's Market (Checkout the seafood restaurant; great prices; great food; spartan atmosphere).
The Seagrove area is famous for it's pottery. It's about an hour and a half from Chapel Hill. If you're "into" pottery, it's a great side-trip.
Winston-Salem is about 1.5 hours west of Chapel Hill on Route 40. That web site identifies many attractions, but one, in particular, is noteworthy (and inexplicably difficult to find on the main web site) so I've provided a like to Old Salem, here.
Chapel Hill is in the "Research Triangle" near Raleigh and Durham. There are wonderful facilities and things to do in the area. You might want to combine the Focus on Hearing Conference with a get-away to enjoy some of the attractions. Check out the hotels, restaruants, events and things to see in the Triangle area.
