Cape Breton Highland
Cape Breton Highlands National Park is located on northern Cape Breton Island in the
province of Nova Scotia. One-third of the Cabot Trail passes through the park featuring
spectacular ocean and mountain views. The park was the first National Park in the Atlantic
provinces of Canada and covers an area of 948 km². It is one of 42 in Canada’s system of
national parks.
Louisbourg Fortress
The Fortress of Louisbourg (in French, Forteresse de Louisbourg) is a national historic site
and the location of a partial reconstruction of an 18th century French fortress at Louisbourg,
Nova Scotia, a reminder of imperial battles for what would become Canada.
The original fortress, constructed mainly between 1720 and 1740, was one of the most
extensive (and expensive) European fortifications constructed in North America. It was
supported by two smaller garrisons on Île Royale located at present-day St. Peter's and
Englishtown. Fortress Louisbourg suffered key weaknesses, since its design was directed
solely toward seabased assaults, leaving the land-facing defenses relatively weak. Captured
by British colonists in 1745, it was a major bargaining chip in the negotiations leading to the
1748 treaty ending the War of the Austrian Succession, and was returned to French control.
It was captured again in 1758 by British forces in the Seven Years' War, after which it was
systematically destroyed by British engineers.
The fortress and town were partially reconstructed in the 1960s, using some of the original
stonework and providing jobs for unemployed coal miners in the effort. The site is now
operated by Parks Canada as a living history museum.
Cabot Trail
Driveway on the sky
The Cabot Trail viewed from the Skyline Hiking TrailThe Cabot Trail is a highway
and scenic roadway in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It is located in
northern Victoria County and Inverness County on Cape Breton Island.
The route measures 298 km (185 mi) in length and completes a loop around the
northern tip of the island, passing along and through the scenic Cape Breton
Highlands. It is named after the explorer John Cabot who landed in Atlantic
Canada in 1497, although most historians agree his landfall likely took place in
Newfoundland and not Cape Breton Island. Construction of the initial route was
completed in 1932.
The northern section of the Cabot Trail passes through Cape Breton Highlands
National Park. The western and eastern sections follow the rugged coastline,
providing spectacular views of the ocean. The southwestern section passes through
the Margaree River valley before passing along Bras d’Or Lake.
View of the commercial and residential establishments that exist at Pleasant Bay,
along the Cabot Trail’s northern-most segmentThe Cabot Trail is the only trunk
secondary highway in Nova Scotia which does not have a signed route designation.
Road signs along the route instead have a unique mountain logo.
The road is internally referred to by the Department of Transportation and Public
Works as Trunk 30. The Trunk 30 road named the “Cabot Trail” loops from Exit 7
on Nova Scotia Highway 105 at Buckwheat Corner to Exit 11 on Highway 105 at
South Haven. The scenic travelway known as the “Cabot Trail” includes all of Trunk
30, as well as the portion of Highway 105 between exits 7 and 11.
The entire route is open year-round.
