USA - South Carolina - Mepkin Abbey to Hilton Head Island (3x4)

Uitzenddatum: Jan 22, 2012

This journey begins at Mepkin Abbey on the Cooper River before heading east to the Historic Hampton Plantation and then on to the coast, where it follows marshland and inlets before flying over the enormous Francis Marion National Forest. To the south is a large natural harbour and Fort Sumter, a key stronghold during the American Civil War. And overlooking the bay is one of the most beautiful cities in South Carolina: Charleston. Inland, discover the beautiful gardens at Middleton Place before turning south to Kiawah Island and its world-famous golf courses. On Parris Island the US Marines have their training camp for new recruits. And the journey ends on the sandy beaches of Hilton Head Island.
