Carter's Grove Country Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carter's Grove Country Road is a narrow bucolic road between Carter's Grove Plantation in the Grove Community of southeastern James City County and the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg in the independent city of Williamsburg on the Virginia Peninsula of the Hampton Roads region of Virginia.

Although primarily located on private property, the road is completely paved and has bridges over several creeks. It runs eight miles from the Mansion at Carter's Grove Plantation to a point near the Williamsburg Golf Course and culminates near the Williamsburg Inn in the heart of the Historic Area.

Once popular with tourists, as well as recreational cyclists and joggers, in 2003, Carter's Grove Country Road, which winds through very hilly and tree-lined areas from Carter's Grove Mansion to Williamsburg, received extensive damage from falling trees during Hurricane Isabel, and it is currently closed to traffic.
