Experience It! The Cabot Trail
Gaze out over the sea as it endlessly rolls in along the rugged Atlantic coast.
Lush forests, soaring cliffs and limitless scenic vistas fill your day as you join us
for a journey along one of the world’s most spectacular routes. A must-see for
those who visit Nova Scotia, the Cabot Trail (which runs along the northern tip
of the island) is named for the explorer John Cabot who first landed here in 1497.
Since that time, its unmatched beauty has drawn visitors from around the world.
Immerse yourself in life along the trail with stops in the traditional village of
Cheticamp; Cape Breton Highlands National Park; the fishing community of
Neil’s Harbour; and the Gaelic College. From the spirit of the outdoors to the
elegant “Old World” French, the Cabot Trail will have you enthralled from start
to finish.
