This short 13-mile byway is a historic journey along the Ashley River. Plantations and expansive gardens dot the route along with significant Revolutionary and Civil War sites. This pastoral scenic drive makes an illuminating route to Charleston, or a must-experience daytrip if you’re already there.
The Ashley River Road passes by three national historic landmarks — Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Drayton Hall and Middleton Place — as it traverses a National Register Historic District that traces the history of European and African settlement, commerce and industry from their colonial origins to the present.
