Beautiful. Full of southern hospitality and charm. This is one of best parts of Kingston. Love the walking trails. Always new developments every time I come and visit my friend.

The last time I went to Ladd Landing I was just visiting friends. All I can think about was how nice it was to walk the Kingsbridge trail. It was a pretty warm day for sure and when I saw the hills I was worried it was going to wear me out but the walk ended up being nearly three miles and except for one area it was extremely manageable.
Finished off with a coke at Bistro in the Market Street. Would definitely recommend you give the trail a walk and see what you think.
