This morning we visit Arlington National Cemetery, one of the country's oldest national cemeteries. The cemetery's rolling hills mark the final resting place for more than 14,000 veterans, including those who fought in the Civil War. From this peaceful, poignant place we continue our journey to Williamsburg. The former capital of the Virginia Colony until 1789, Williamsburg was England’s oldest, largest, richest, most populous colony and played a significant role in the American Revolution. You’ll notice plenty of European influence here - our first insight into the lifestyle of the first British settlers. We’ll stay here for two nights.

We then leave South Carolina behind for a journey through the Georgia countryside to Savannah. This famously beautiful city is a hub for creative types, but it’s the elegant 18th and 19th-century townhouses, brick ‘sidewalks’ and towering oak trees draped in Spanish moss that are likely to capture your heart. We’ll stay here for two nights.

Day 10 - Savannah
Begin the day with a trolley tour of the Old Town, learning about the city’s Civil War history, three centuries worth of architectural prowess. This afternoon is free to spend as you please. We love a wander through Forsyth Park in the historic district. Dating back to the 1840s, this green corner is undeniably charming. It’s the perfect spot to get your camera clicking at that famous Spanish moss and iconic centrepiece fountain. Or perhaps just stop by one of the little cafes and watch the local life pass you by.
