Byways and Scenic Drives Through Wilmington & the Brandywine Valley
Follow the shoreline. Drive through the hills. Trace the pathways of history. On the scenic byways of Delaware and the Brandywine Valley, a drive can take as little as 15 minutes or as long as a lazy Sunday afternoon.
The Delaware Bayshore Byway will take you through the largest preserved coastal marshland on the East Coast, while the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway traverses known Underground Railroad sites from Camden, Delaware through Wilmington, all the way to the end of the line that once meant freedom for enslaved people.
The beautifully preserved roadways of the Brandywine Valley National Scenic Byway have captured the imagination of many as they wind their way past gorgeous historic estates, educational museums and beautiful gardens.
