Well worth stopping here after magnolia plantation on circle route back to Charleston. We bought lunch from Fishnet Seafood on I-17 and ate at the picnic table gazing at this HUGE tree. It makes one feel humble and very young to know something lived 1500 years and is still standing.Free, and well worth the detour
The GOD of all oak trees is right! It's so impressive and breathtaking. There is a small gift shop on premises with prints of the tree and tshirts, mugs. If you're travelling anywhere around then it's definitely worth the trip to go and see this beast and beauty of a tree. It's off a dirt road with a dirt path to the tree and there are porta-potties available.
This is a must see. It is an enormous live oak in a secluded thankfully uncommercial spot. The tree is supposedly 300 to 400 years old and an absolute beauty. It is a magical and spiritual experience to walk under the tree and ponder on its long life. It has witnessed so many events in the country's history. It is also a reminder that nothing surpasses the beauty that nature has created. We should make sure we preserve it everywhere. There is a small gift shop selling baskets and souvenirs. Not to be missed
We stopped at the Charleston Tea Plantation and asked if there was anything else to see in the area and they told us about Angel Oak Tree. To not have seen this would have been a shame. The beauty of the tree and to learn of the history, etc was well worth the drive. A MUST SEE
The pictures of this tree doesn't do it any justice. Seeing it in person is breathtaking. I never thought I would say that describing a tree but this isn't an ordinary tree. It's nice that they have picnic area. Would really be a nice spot to have lunch while taking in the sights of this tree. Definitely a must see if you're in the Charleston area.
we have been to the "Angel" several times with visitors. I am still in awe of this majestic beauty.located just a few miles off of Savannah Highway. It is a free exhibit. Don't miss the sign, it comes up fast and is at the end of a dirt road. The access road to the Angel is a dirt road, and more often than not needs to be scraped down and leveled out. I could tell you about the sight itself, but you must see it on your own. pictures do NOT do this oak justice.
This majestic oak tree sits in a small park on Angel Oak Road (which runs between Bohicket Road and Maybank Highway; signage is not great). Open from 9-5, it is free of charge. Just park in the small lot and walk about 100' back to the Angel Oak. It is simply spectacular. Even with all the people around, it feels like being in a cathedral. Coming from Charleston, it is on the way to the Charleston Tea Plantation, and a definite must-see.
It's a little hard to find if you aren't familiar with the area. The tree itself is magnificent! It's so large and sprawling and just a site to behold. One of the most amazing things is the ivy-like growth on it. It looked dead the day we visited, but I was told with a little rain it springs right back.We just stood in absolute awe of God's creation, the Angel Oak.
On your way to/from Tea Plantation of Charleston,SC stop to see A VERY OLD Live Oak said to be 300-400 years "young" because it could live another 500 years! It is 31 feet around and provides 17,000 sq feet of shade. The longest limb is 89 feet. A Tree to see!
My favorite thing in Charleston is visiting the Angel Oak Tree. The tree is huge and very impressive. Even better, the attraction is free. I wish they didn't have so many signs telling you not to climb the tree. I guess the signs are necessary, but they totally photobomb the picture. Again, if there was one thing I would do in Charleston, then this is it.
