Brandywine Valley
About 35 miles (63km) west of Philadelphia on US 1 (accessible
by bus and train) is the scenic cultural and historical Mecca of
the Brandywine Valley, sprinkled with magical natural settings,
country inns, fascinating museums and beautiful gardens in the
heart of Chester County. Visitors can enjoy Longwood Gardens, the
Brandywine River Museum (with its unique art collection in a grist
mill), the Chaddsford Winery, the Simon Pearce glassblowing studio
and shopping in historic Kennett Square to name just a few of the
attractions in this naturally beautiful part of Pennsylvania.
