I-95 past Jacksonville to St Augustine. Hwy 207 West to Palatka, Hwy 19 South to Salt Springs, Rt 314 West, to Hwy 35 South, to Hwy 441. A real pleasure compared to 301.
I-95 past Jacksonville to St Augustine.

To right turn on US Hwy 1 (Exit 298)

To right turn on Fl Hwy 11 in Bunnell

To right turn on FL Hwy 40

To left turn on Fl Hwy 19
(the shorter and more adventurous route is to take County 445A (at Astor Park)to Fla 19).

To right on Fl Hwy 42

To left on either US Hwy 441 or (three miles further) US Hwy 301
Villages are five miles or so south.
