There's nothing quite like driving around beautiful, scenic highways, car windows rolled down and your favorite music turned up as you cruise along gorgeous stretches of road, whether on a road trip with friends or for a solo trip to enjoy a sunny day.
According to a list compiled by LoveExploring, the "most scenic road" in all of South Carolina is Ashley River Road, a Lowcoutry route that gives drivers a stunning snapshot of the natural beauty the Palmetto State has to offer.
Here's what LoveExploring had to say about this beautiful stretch of scenery:
"The Ashley River Road is exactly what you'd expect: a view-filled Lowcountry highway that unfolds alongside the Ashley River. Road-trippers will pass along 11 miles lined with ancient oak trees heavy with Spanish moss, and glimpse some of the state's famed plantation homes. Among them is Drayton Hall, an elegant 18th-century mansion whose house tours reveal the history of the wealthy colonial residents and the enslaved peoples who lived there."
