Delaware's DuPont corridor is a unique part of the Brandywine Valley where you'll find elaborate mansions and estates, ornate gardens that are among the best in the world, and so many historic sites that it is hard to list them all. You could easily spend a week visiting each spot that the DuPonts owned and built in their storied time in the First State.
Cape Henlopen State Park is unique in that you can stumble upon a World War II fort while you're hiking. Climb a watchtower for an unbelievable view, or drive down early to catch a sunrise on the point.
Though it is smaller than Bombay Hook, Prime Hook is just as beautiful. Drive through this hidden gem along the bay will show you some of the most impressive scenery in America.
Brandywine Creek State Park is proof that gorgeous parks can exist in urban areas. The park is technically in Wilmington, but it will bring you far away from the busy city life with its trails, bridges, and streams.
While all of these beautiful places are among the best in the country, our wildlife refuges really stand out. Read more about Bombay Hook here, and the smaller (but still impressive) Prime Hook right here.
