If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we can help out. Located 18 miles away, Darien is worth the drive. See the best sights beginning with Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation, Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge and Ashantilly Center. The locals will also probably point you toward Jesup, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Pine Forest Country Club. (But we’re also huge fans of Words and Whimsies and Cracker Williams Park.)
