Cape Bretoners are looked upon by the rest of Canada as among its most warm, hospitable and happy people. Perhaps you will gain insights into their pleasant dispositions after you experience the beauty and spirit of this rugged coast.The "Ceilidh Trail" and it's highlands echo with the sounds of bagpipes, fiddles, and song.

The traffic is low, the scenery is magnificent. There is not one mall or fast food strip along the entire coast! While this many make development agencies cringe, for the true visitor, it is a boon. The terrain is rolling, but only hilly in a few sections. Between Margaree Harbour and Port Hastings, highway #19 has several areas with access to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This craggy shore shares some of the warm waters of Prince Edward Island and northern Nova Scotia mainland. The water is warm, due to the shallow depths of the Northumberland Strait. The entire shore along the Creignish Hills is famous for its sunsets.

This tour of the Nova Scotia Bicycle Book begins in Margaree Harbour.
