Wormsloe Mile Long Entrance

Wormsloe Mile Long Entrance avenue lined with live oaks is a classic image from the moonlight and magnolias Old South.  Found here in Savannah GA.

In the 1890s, Wymberley Jones De Renne laid out the live oak avenue, to celebrate the birth of his son.

A breathtaking avenue sheltered by live oaks and Spanish moss leads to the tabby ruins of Wormsloe, the colonial estate of Noble Jones (1702–1775). Jones was a humble carpenter who arrived in Georgia in 1733 with James Oglethorpe and the first group of settlers from England.

If you enjoy seeing Live Oak trees, make sure to visit this beautiful place.  Wormsloe occupies the southern portion of the Isle of Hope, a peninsula four miles long and as much as a mile wide near Savannah Ga.

  1. Great photo Sandra! One must love the history also. Georgia was founded as a free colony where all were welcome and had a great start. One must appreciate the work and vision that went into the creation of this grand natural avenue and that it still exists in such great condition.

    1. Yes, it is amazing to see places like this that are somewhat preserved in their natural state. Especially the trees. Up north it seems like people have no issues with cutting down trees to put up another store or something. This place was truly amazing to see.

    1. Thank you very much Francine, it was so beautiful to drive down the road surrounded by these gorgeous trees. It was quite the sight. Happy new year Francine 😊

  2. Oh, my goodness! This is gorgeous! I’m headed out on a cross-country adventure in March and will put this spot on my list!

  3. This lane is of an exceptional beauty, I saw it several times on my Instagram too. In your second picture you made something magical from it 🙂

    1. Yes, I had seen the photo before and then to be there myself was so much fun. It wad amazing to take the photo and then drive down the lane. 😊
