Landrum Is The One South Carolina Town Everyone Must Visit This Fall
South Carolina is small enough in geography to pick up on the coast early in the morning and be in the mountains by noon – easily. But for fall foliage viewing, you may want to reconsider a day trip and extend it to at least an overnight, if not the entire weekend. If there’s one town in the mountains that doesn’t disappoint (especially in autumn), it’s Landrum. This is the one tiny town everyone in and from South Carolina should experience this fall.
It's also not only in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it also kisses the edge of the breathtaking Blue Ridge Escarpment, the steep, southernmost edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
In fact, Campbell's Covered Bridge is the only remaining bridge of its kind in the Palmetto State from its era. It now sits in a gorgeous park maintained by Greenville County Parks. Pack a picnic because you'll be mesmerized by how the ancient red bridge blends so nicely with the fall foliage.
Vintage stores galore make finding hidden treasure a delight. Be sure to stop at Landrum Eclectics (shown) just on the outskirts of town, too. Found in a 1920s farmhouse, it's so filled with vintage charm, it oozes out into the front yard. And the view from here... well, you'll soon see for yourself.

The TripAdvisor.com number one restaurant in town has 4.5 out of 5 stars and is moderately-priced, and casual, yet upscale. Fill up on American fare in this rustic pub that also features outdoor dining.
When it comes to fall colors, you'll have a front row seat for the entire palette in just a few short weeks from now. This place fills up fast so don't wait to make reservations. Learn more about the Red Horse Inn here.
The Blue Wall Preserve is relatively new and you may just have this spot all to yourself. AllTrails features two trails; one easy, and one very difficult.
Enjoy the lovely atmosphere, music (when scheduled), and beer and wine at this charming locale located on Landrum Road and on the way out of town heading to Interstate 26.
Are you planning a pilgrimage to see the fall colors in western South Carolina this year? Spend a day, a night, or the whole weekend in Landrum and enjoy it to the fullest!
