Carter's Grove Country Road
- Carter's Grove Country Road
Carter's Grove Country Road was a narrow bucolic road between Carter's Grove Plantation at Ron Springs Road in the Grove Community of southeastern James City County and the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg at South England Street in the independent city of Williamsburg on the Virginia Peninsula of the Hampton Roads region of Virginia.
Although primarily located on private property, the road was completely paved and had bridges over several creeks. It stretched eight miles from the Mansion at Carter's Grove Plantation west to a point near the Williamsburg Golf Course and culminated near the Williamsburg Inn in the heart of the Historic Area.
Hurricane Isabel closes road
Once popular with tourists, as well as recreational cyclists and joggers, in 2003, Carter's Grove Country Road, which winds through very hilly and tree-lined areas received extensive damage from falling trees during Hurricane Isabel, and it was closed.
Future
In December 2006, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation announced "pursuant to long-standing legal agreements dating back more than three decades between the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated," ownership of a portion of the Country Road was transferred to Busch Properties, Inc. Colonial Williamsburg retained ownership of the road from South England Street to Mounts Bay Road."
Busch Properties took ownership of the portion of the road extending east from Mounts Bay Road to the Grove Creek Bridge." The short remaining eastern portion is on the property of Carter's Grove Plantation.
