on one side and the salt marsh teeming with wildlife

For history buffs it is nice to walk along the historic district reading the many signs relating to the original homes
on the island.

Murrells Inlet
Just a few minutes north of Litchfield is Murrells Inlet, the seafood capital of South Carolina and home to many fine restaurants and bars.
With breathtaking views of the salt marshes, with

Local attractions

Huntington State Park – opposite Brookgreen Gardens, Huntington has a fantastic beach and also provides many walks showcasing the local habitats and wildlife.

The name Huntington comes from the family who established Brookgreen Gardens in the early 1930's. Archer Milton Huntington became an expert in Hispanic culture and from this came the inspiration for the spanish fortress style home 'Atalaya' which is part of the property.

Archers wife Anna Vaughn Hyatt became a sculptor which
explains the link between art and nature found at
Brookgreen Gardens.

Hobcaw Barony – Former home of millionaire Bernard Baruch and his daughter, Belle. A 17,500 acre property with 3,000 acres of old rice fields. Saltwater and freshwater wetlands
and maritime forest make up
the rest of the property.

It is thought that Hobcaw Barony is the sight where the Spanish first attempted to settle in 1526 which would make it the oldest European settlement in the US.

Georgetown – A 20 minute drive south will find you in Georgetown with its' historic waterfront area and colonial architecture.

Along Main Street you will find the Kaminsky House Museum and the Rice Museum which are both worth a visit.

Apart from Hobcaw Barony there are another two historic houses just outside the city.
