This very enjoyable tour takes you past old farms and ports of the past. The graceful old homesteads lie surrounded by scented orchards. Tall old trees line the winding road along the shore of Minas Basin. At times they offer canopies of foliage, shade from the valley sun.

The Nova Scotia Bicycle Book suggests this tour for a leisurely outing. Watch for birds, take pictures, and stop for plenty of breaks. It includes a visit to the graceful grounds and period rooms of Prescott House. A large Georgian era estate, you can relax amid its gardens, rare shrubs, and tall trees. Each area of Nova Scotia has its own distinct background- Scottish in Cape Breton, Germanic in Lunenburg, and others Acadian. The area of this attractive ride owes its heritage to the North-East United States. Visitors from New England should find it interesting to learn the background.
