Named in honor of the famous thoroughbred farm, Belle Meade is a residential area due south of downtown. Take a drive through this area, and you'll see enormous homes, whose Victorian and Georgian-style hearken back to the days of the Old South. If you're lucky, you'll be able to book a room in one of Belle Meade's quaint bed and breakfast inns and be within walking distance of a few of the community's fine restaurants and upscale boutiques.
See & Do
Belle Meade Plantation is the centerpiece of the affluent Belle Meade region of Nashville. Inside, the restored building has been furnished with 19th-century antiques that hint at the elegance and wealth that the Southern gentility enjoyed in the late 1800s. Tours led by costumed guides follow a theme (for example, holidays, aspects of plantation life, and so on) that changes every 3 months. Belle Meade's parklike grounds make it a popular site for festivals throughout the year.
