One of the first things out-of-town visitors notice about Nashville once the shock and awe of actually being in this famous city wears off is that it is very crowded. The roads, streets and even the sidewalks hustle and bustle day and night with locals, would-be musicians and tourists. When a little break from it all is desired, a trip to the nearby suburb of Brentwood can serve as a breath of fresh air.
Located off Highway 65, Brentwood will take visitors just outside the tightest circle of congestion where a quieter pace of life is enjoyed. This suburb is worth seeing for a number of reasons, including the incredible shopping golf courses, historic sites and even the state park found here.
Shopping fanatics will find the Brentwood is one of Nashville's wealthier suburbs. This is supported by the fact the community boasts two huge shopping malls and a number of factory outlets for those who understand the value of stretching a dollar. It is also the home of the Legends Club of Tennessee and the Nashville Golf and Athletic Club.
A Radnor Lake State Park in Brentwood, visitors can get away from it all for certain. Here acres and acres of wilderness away. The park's claim to fame is that it is the largest state wilderness park found square in a metro region.
While Nashville is a wonderful vacation destination, its hustle and bustle can sometimes be too much. When a slightly different pace is desired, the parks, mansions, historic sites and golf courses of Brentwood will not fail to please.
