One of historic Charleston's many unique points of interest, this park is the site of the first English Settlement (1670) in South Carolina. The park, a nature preserve and historic site, brings to life the experience of those first settlers. Charles Towne Landing interprets the first years of the colony with hands-on activities. The full scale reproduction 17th century trading vessel Adventure emphasizes the important role trade played in the development of the colony. Other special features of the park include a natural habitat zoo, the 1670 Experimental Crop Garden and 80 acres of English Park Gardens. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.<br><br><b>Directions:</b> Charles Towne Landing is west of the Ashley River on SC 171, 3 miles northwest of Charleston at 1500 Old Towne Road. |
