Introduction
Maryland is rich in varied landscape, from mountains and rolling farmlands to its winding Atlantic coastline. The state was a centre of military activity during the Civil War and a number of trails exist to follow in the footsteps of those campaigns.
The port city of Annapolis was once the capital of the U.S. and is home to many colonial buildings and the Unites States Naval Academy. From there it's a short hop to Chesapeake Bay, waterway with the longest inland shoreline in the states, perfect for sailors, fishermen and seafood lovers, who can indulge in the local specialty - soft-shell blue crab.
