What amazing graveyards! The stones are so interesting to look at and study. The one at the Unitarian church is grown over(intentionally) and it’s really a cool setting. Worth seeking out!

This has so much potential! The current gates are only open M-F 9:30−5 but consistently closed between a few of the churches: especially near St Phillips. The garden walks are such a lovely idea: I wish they were connected!

Gorgeous! I could have spent hours in here, walking around and taking photos. The old grave stones are remarkable. And to boot, the organist inside the church was playing exquisitely inside and the music really set the scene. Our walk was cut short because my husband was getting eaten by bugs. Oh well!

This had potential to be something really great, but alas it has some major faults. We were visiting Charleston over a long weekend and found out about this in one of our guide books. The walk sounded great and we were right where most guides started. The walk began pleasantly on a weekend summer morning/early afternoon, but by the time we got to the Gibbes Museum, the gates were locked and we were unable to continue the walking tour. Pretty lame considering we had only walked for 20 mins.

I have always found the cemetaries of the lowcountry enchanting and there has always been a special place in my heart for the Unitarian Cemetary in Charleston. The Gatway Walk allowed me to find my way through the most beautiful church yards in the city. Unfortunately the afternoon I set aside to visit the churches was very busy. There was a lot of construction noise that did not provide a peaceful ambiance for this type of stroll. And several of the cemetaries were filled with an art class, making it very difficult to navigate. Overall this was a very thoughtful idea.

This is one of the best kept secrets in Charleston. The Gateway Walk is a free walking tour right in the heart of the historic district that connects city churchyards, garden areas and hidden courtyards. It takes you away from the sidewalk viewpoint and into the secret places in the middle of four city blocks. Entering from Church St. across from St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, you amble through four churchyards, through the gardens of the Charleston Library Society and the Gibbes Museum of Art. The Gateway Walk is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 — 5:00 pm.
