Why the
Cabot Trail
is special

The Cabot trail in Nova Scotia, Canada is a beautiful scenic road looping around northern Cape Breton. The drive winds through mountain wilderness and skirts a rugged coastline.

tips & insights

Heritages

Along the route, you visit small fishing villages that reflect their Scottish and Acadian heritages. Some present performances of Scottish and Irish folk music in the local style.

---

Baddeck

It is the traditional starting and ending point of the loop in Nova Scotia. It boasts a museum devoted to Alexander Graham Bell (he regularly summered in Baddeck). It showcases his memorabilia and inventions, including the telephone.

---

Pleasant Bay

This bay (see photo) is the most photographic segment of the Cabot Trail. It's also a fine place for whale watching.

---

When to go

Vehicular traffic appreciably thickens during the summer tourist season. I recommend that you visit in the Spring when the forsythia bushes and wildflowers are in bloom - or during the Fall when Mother Nature puts on her colorful foliage show.
