1.
From Washington and Points North:
There are two
potential routes, through Virginia or through Maryland. If it's
not clear which is the quickest and best route for you, go to
Yahoo Maps or Mapquest and find out your estimated travel time to Fredericksburg, VA or
Waldorf, MD. We are 20-25 minutes from Fredericksburg and 30-35
minutes from Waldorf, to figure out what's the best route for you. (Online road directions are often unreliable
in estimating travel time to Cleydael itself. Don't know why)
From
Old Town Alexandria:
Get on the Beltway,
cross the Wilson Bridge and take the first Maryland exit, which is
Indian Head Highway. (Rt 210). Follow this for about
11 miles until you come to Rt. 228 (Berry Road). Turn left
on MD 228 and follow this about 5 miles to Waldorf. Turn
right on US 301 (Crain Highway). Follow 301
South for about 25 miles, and cross the Potomac on the Harry Nice
