About Mallow

Mallow is a quiet rural community nestled in the mountain valleys of Alleghany County, Virginia, just south of Covington. Surrounded by the rolling Appalachian landscape, the area features wooded hillsides, winding country roads, and easy access to both Potts Creek and the Jackson River. It offers a relaxed setting where residents enjoy scenic views, open space, and a true sense of privacy.
