South of the Delta, the rich woodlands and meadows of central Mississippi are heralded by steep loess bluffs, holding engaging historic towns such as Vicksburg and Natchez . Driving is a real pleasure, especially along the unspoiled Natchez Trace Parkway - devoid of trucks, buildings and neon signs - which runs through Jackson and on up to Tupelo.
