North Carolina

North Carolina has long been known as the home of the First Flight and the birthplace of motor sports, however there are many more reasons to visit this delightful state. All regions offer a treasure trove of natural wonders, so whether you’re after a sedate beach experience, an opportunity to see the magnificent kaleidoscope of ‘Fall’ colours, the chance to enjoy the panoramic views offered by the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway, a game on one of the 600 golf courses or an adventure-packed white-water rafting trip, North Carolina truly has it all.

For those looking to find out more about the rich heritage, the offerings are as diverse as finding out more about the revival of the Cherokee culture in the westernmost part of the state or exploring the 18th century Moravian town of Old Salem. And wherever you go you can count on a warm southern welcome.
