Drive along the western coast of the Northern Peninsula past historic Port au Choix to L’Anse aux Meadows. Twillingate Twillingate is an historic fishing village situated on the shore of Notre Dame Bay, a superb vantage point for watching icebergs older than our western civilisation as they float by, through the summer months, on the Greenland Current. These waters are also home to a vast number of marine mammals, and whales can usually be seen by boat or from the shore at Long Point. Cape Bonavista lighthouse HARBOUR LIGHTS INN, TWILLINGATE Located on the waterfront in the idyllic old harbour at Twillingate, lies the recently restored 19th century Harbour Lights Inn. There are nine en suite bedrooms, several of which have sea and harbour views. Guests can relax in the lounge, watching fishing boats arriving in and departing from the harbour or explore the local area, keeping an eye out for whales and icebergs. Trinity Bay Trinity Bay is a delightful region of clapboard villages dotted around a crescent of hills that hem in a deep and intricate bay. Whales and icebergs are thrilling summer sights and there are several museums to visit. Between New Bonaventure and English Harbour on Trinity Bay the rugged coastline is dotted with 12 picturesque fishing ports, of which Port Rexton is perhaps the prettiest. Trinity Bay itself is known for its pageant and theatre festival, restaurants and boat trips, while close to Ship Cove the former fortification of Fox Island surveys a dramatic landscape of icebergs and ospreys. FISHERS’ LOFT INN, TRINITY BAY Nestled in the hills on a quiet winding lane, Fishers’ Loft Inn overlooks the old fishing and boat-building harbour of Ship Cove in Port Rexton. The inn is a collection of local Victorian buildings scattered closely over a hillside where forest meets meadow. Winding paths connect the houses of the inn that provide 20 casually elegant rooms and suites, most with sea views, and all bright and spacious, with hand-crafted furniture and original works of art. The licensed dining room serves delicious seasonal food harvested from the ocean, seaside meadows and the inn’s kitchen garden.

Western Brook Pond Fjord, Gros Morne National Park The Northern Peninsula Approximately 300 kilometres long and rich in history, the Northern Peninsula is a highlight of any visit to Newfoundland. It is overflowing with stunning natural features, pre-historic sites and fishing villages dating back to the early days of colonisation. Every year the coastal waters welcome countless whales and from spring into early summer the sea is transformed by the annual parade of icebergs, fragments of millenniaold glaciers. The land is filled with healthy populations of moose, caribou and black bears, while the rivers and lakes teem with salmon. In the south, Deer Lake is a good starting point to load up with fuel and provisions before heading to the fjords of Gros Morne National Park, widely acclaimed as one of the most beautiful parks in all Canada. Heading north, Hawkes Bay is an early 20th century whaling station and Port au Choix is a historic site dedicated to exhibitions of Maritime Archaic Indians and the Dorset Eskimos who lived here in 2,000BC and AD500 respectively. At the northern tip of the peninsula lies L’Anse aux Meadows, thought to be the original landing site of Viking settlers over 1,000 years ago, while nearby Ship Cove is the isolated Canadian community where Annie Proulx wrote and set her award-winning book, ‘The Shipping News’. CANADIAN SAILING EXPEDITIONS Experience the thrill of sailing the coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia on classic windjammer tall ships, with the wind filling the sails and the tang of salt in the air. Typically, cruises last for about a week and visit small remote villages, wonderful sounding hideaways such as Man o’ War Cove and magnificent natural phenomena like Gros Morne National Park. Re-live the great age of sail whilst enjoying the modern-day comforts of private cabins with en suite showers and hearty wholesome meals in a spacious dining room. The Caledonia, the vessel that usually sails these waters, is a 75 metre square-rigged barquentine, a majestic and traditional tall ship with a large salon, long mahogany bar and library where guests can mingle in comfort. Guests can also sign up for the daily sailing activities, including historical lectures, sailing theory, climbing the rigging or taking the wheel: the choice is geared towards all ages and fitness levels. Gros Morne National Park This landscape of bays, beaches, sea stacks and bare-topped mountains cut through by fjords has an irresistible, intoxicating beauty. Nestled in the Long Range Mountains, the Gros Morne National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers unparalleled walking through wild uninhabited mountains and boat tours under towering cliffs. This is a place to see geology in action, with a thin veneer of the living world clinging to the hard rock. NEDDIES HARBOUR INN, GROS MORNE NATIONAL PARK Neddies Harbour Inn is a luxurious, waterfront inn located in Norris Point, right in the heart of Gros Morne National Park. This tranquil location provides magnificent views of the bay, the Long Range Mountains and the Tablelands. The inn has 15 spacious and tastefully furnished rooms, a restaurant serving the freshest local ingredients, an exercise room, sauna, and hot tub. Emphasis is placed on environmentally-friendly energy systems and the use of authentic local craftsmanship and products. 78 The square-rigged barquentine Caledonia
