Senoia is a tiny Coweta County town about 35 miles south of Atlanta that became famous as a filming location for The Walking Dead, whose Woodbury was shot on its Main Street. The zombies are gone, but the town that grew up around the fans is still worth a trip: a restored Main Street of shops, restaurants and Victorian homes, filming-location walking tours and an easy drive to the country around Newnan. Here are the best things to do in Senoia.

1. Main Street
Two blocks of restored brick storefronts with boutiques, cafes and restaurants, and Victorian homes on the side streets. Park once and walk the whole downtown.
