The City of Charleston is way more than just the historic district or even the peninsula. Encompassing a great deal of land in West Ashley (or “West of the Ashley” as some folks like to refer to it) and James Island (much to the consternation of some James Islanders), the beauty of Charleston includes amazing marshes, waterfront, parks and even some plantations. This view of the peninsula and across to the Ravenel Bridge is from Harbor View Road on James Island.
