Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
They call this enchanting town in North Carolina the Town of Crepe Myrtles. But it is easy to see, in Angier, the beauty extends far beyond those pretty trees and deep into the great care of the lovely town by the fine people living here. Sitting only 22 miles from the state capital, sometimes this beautiful space lives in the shadows. From inviting spots for relaxing to small businesses and immaculate parks, you’ll find something to celebrate when you visit.
Bite into one of the newest creations, the Crunch Burger, slathered with creamy mayo, tangy barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, homemade chips, and cheddar cheese.
When these blackberries ripen, pick some for a delicious pie or cobbler, a smoothie, or some blackberry vinegar to spruce up your collards.
Speaking of gardens, the Angier Public Library has a cool seed library exchange, including flowers, fruits, herbs, and vegetables, complete with planting instructions.

And while you're at the library, you must visit The Marvin and Mary Johnson Gourd Museum, located in the same building. Here you will see the most eclectic collection of gourds gathered from many countries around the world.
Enjoy this 0.9-mile loop trail, especially at night under the glitter of the stars.
