The Brandywine Valley

What to do:

Take a "Sunday" drive any day of the week through the rolling green hills and historic byways of northern Delaware, while antiquing and boutiquing local shops and touring the majestic estates and gardens that are part of the du Pont family legacy.

Iconic eats:

Fish and chips at Buckley's Tavern; create-your-own pizza at Pizza by Elizabeths; morning tea and breakfast all day at Centreville Cafe.

Local's tip:

You can get sandwiches, desserts and picnic provisions to go at JANSSEN'S Market - they'll even pack the basket.

Good day to visit:

Point-to-Point, WINTERTHUR'S annual steeplechase/tailgating event.
