The Northern Peninsula Newfoundland and Labrador Newfoundland and Labrador evoke images of majestic mountains and rugged ocean shores. In early summer icebergs, shorn from 10,000 year old glaciers, glide along Iceberg Alley through seas rich with whales and sealions. The seabird colonies here are the largest in the northern hemisphere, attracting over 35 million seabirds annually. In the interior, moose and herds of caribou trek through primeval forests whilst the very northern tip of the island is home to L’Anse aux Meadows, the only authenticated Viking site in North America. St. John’s is the pretty historic capital with more pubs per square kilometre than any other city on the continent: island hospitality is renowned and will surely be a lasting memory of your stay. The cuisine here is as diverse as the province’s heritage. From jiggs dinner to toutons and molasses to the mug-up, Newfoundland dishes have been handed down for generations and are a feature of this province’s distinctive appeal. St. John’s The small city of St John’s is the capital of Newfoundland and is set on this diverse province’s east coast. The harbour area is the heart of the city: in days gone by this was the focus of an important maritime trade and fishing fleet. The houses at the harbour mouth gleam brightly with all the paints the fishermen had left over from their boats: reds, greens, yellows, whites and blues make them look like jelly beans scattered around the base of Signal Hill. This lively waterfront is now better known for its nightlife, with countless restaurants, historic pubs and some great folk music. The summer brings a host of activities, from whale watching and iceberg spotting to exploring excellent museums highlighting more than 500 years of history. Don’t miss a climb to the top of Signal Hill for spectacular views over the city and nearby coastline, and be sure to visit the most easterly point in North America, Cape Spear, close to the historic village of Quidi Vidi. St. John’s harbour LEASIDE MANOR, ST JOHN’S Leaside Manor is a gracious and carefully restored manor house that, in the 1920s, belonged to one of Newfoundland’s most prominent families. Today this bed and breakfast property retains much of its period charm and has eleven light and airy rooms and suites with hardwood floors and luxury bathrooms and bed linens. A highlight of your stay will surely be the scrumptious breakfasts. Ideally located, St Johns’ many attractions are just a 20 minute walk away. Terra Nova National Park Terra Nova National Park was established in 1957 to protect the Atlantic uplands and boreal forest of eastern Newfoundland. Covering 400 square kilometres, the park includes spruce forests, rolling hills, bogs, streams and glacial features, fringed by a rugged coastline broken with sheltered inlets. The area has supported an impressive array of marine and terrestrial life for thousands of years: salmon, moose, bears, lynx and bald eagles are just some of the wildlife you may see. For millennia the Beothuk found refuge here and the brief incursion of European settlers is marked by a scattering of now-abandoned ruins along the coast. 76
