One reason we love living in Raleigh is its proximity to so many amazing destinations to explore. We are spoilt for choice and should never be bored.
In this episode, we share 5 of our favorite destinations only an hour drive from Raleigh. They are easy to visit in a day – but there is no reason why you shouldn’t stay longer.
We visit these places near Raleigh often, and will continue to do so. Be sure to join our VIP email community so you don’t miss an update. And follow our current adventures – near and far – on Instagram.
For each place, we share some of the best things to do in a day, including places to eat!
