It’s Sunday morning, and there’s no better time for brunch in the countryside. Enjoy a traditional English breakfast, right here in Chester County at the Whip Tavern, which features a mix of farm to table cuisine, and local brews. After brunch, let the countryside continue to inspire you at the Brandywine Museum of Art and take in the Wyeth family’s idyllic depictions of the places they call home (it’s right there in Chadds Ford!).
