Great Day Trip: Mepkin Abbey

If you are looking for a unique Charleston day trip, Mepkin Abbey might be just the place!

Mepkin Abbey is the home to a group of Roman Catholic Trappist monks. In addition to walking through the beautiful Nancy Bryan Luce Gardens, visitors are invited to take a guided tour of the church. There is also a gift shop featuring compost and mushrooms harvested by the Mepkin brothers as well as other gifts and educational materials.

For organizations wishing to host a retreat or meeting of their own at the Abbey, there is a lovely conference center on the property that is available for rent.
