Day 7 : Carolina Plantations
Visit some of the finest historic plantations and gardens in America today. A morning trip takes you first to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens for a tour of the magnificent Romantic-style garden – selected as one of "America's Most Beautiful Gardens" by
Travel + Leisure; some sections of the gardens are more than 325 years old, making them the oldest unrestored gardens in America. Then it's on to one of the grandest of the notable Ashley River Plantations, Middleton Place, a National Historic Landmark that is home to America's oldest landscaped gardens – truly a landscaping masterpiece. Tour its mansion built in 1755 and the stableyards – and of course the formal gardens. Return to Charleston mid-afternoon, then join us this evening for a farewell cocktail reception and dinner at your historic hotel.
