My favorite plantation . I've gone five times and it'll never be boring. Beautiful when flowers are in bloom. I had a great guide for the garden tour . Lots of history and original pieces in the house.

Beautiful grounds and you can definitely self-navigate through the entire property at your own pace.

Charming Inns of Charleston

Charleston has a rich culinary history and it all began here! Penelope visited on Rice Harvest Day, a celebration that happens each year in September. The gardens here are beau-ti-ful!

Tristan Snyder

Take a taxi instead of using one of the tour services. You need more than 4 hours to see anything and eat at the amazing restaurant
