Tourist Attractions
Cabot Trail
is one of the most
beautiful scenic drives in the world. Named for famous explorer John
Cabot, the Cabot Trail winds around the rocky splendour of Cape Breton's
northern shore, ascending to the incredible plateaus of Cape Breton
Highlands Park. Fleur
de lis Trail
is famous because the
Fortress of Louisbourg, the largest historic reconstruction in North
America, meticulously rebuilt on the foundations of the original
fortress-the site from which the French hoped to reign over all North
Atlantic navigation in the 1700s.
Halifax has been a significant
port city ever since its founding in 1749. Indeed the waterfront continues
to be a hot spot, boasting some of the city's most stimulating
entertainment and most fascinating historical landmarks.
The
Evangeline Trail parallels the Fundy coast, passing
through some of North America's earliest European history and the
delightful villages and orchards of the Annapolis Valley. From the seaport
of Yarmouth, the tides of Fundy rise until they reach a high of up to 16.5
metres (54 feet) at the headwaters of the Bay of Fundy's Minas Basin.
The Lighthouse Route
journeys through an
unforgettable landscape of coastal beauty. You will discover over twenty lighthouses, from Yarmouth's towering Cape Forchu
light, to the dramatic beauty of the famous lighthouse at Peggy's Cove. On
Glooscap Trail,
Mi'kmaq legends tell
of the mighty Glooscap who created Five Islands and controlled the great
tides with his magic. |
