  • The Ceilidh Trail (Kay-Lee) July 8Th
    Day Four – The Ceilidh Trail (Kay-Lee) July 8th The word ceilidh pronounced kay lee is the Gallic work for party or gathering. We loaded up the blue tour van with our luggage after a hearty continental breakfast. We left Halifax on a sunny morning heading past the Naval Yard on highway 102 to the highway 118 bypass to Truro. You could hear the steady hum of the tires on the pavement as we left the comfortable scenery of Halifax. Bob had his eyes fixed steady on the road ahead, his hands with a comfortable grip on the steering wheel. We were heading towards Truro and the excitement of meeting the folks at the Colchester Historical Society. Tummies full, wide awake – Let the adventure begin. Stewiacke River Country Scenery At Truro we arrived at the Museum and the first thing we notice on the door is CLOSED. It’s a bright and sunny morning and the sign says closed on Sundays, so yes it’s closed. Bob says “I guess I should have phoned ahead, but we’ll visit on the way back”. We were slightly disappointed, but this will give us a bit more time in Antigonish which is our next stop. The Museum and Archives did have a nice garden out front. Truro (Wikipedia) is the shire town of Colchester County and is located on the south side of the Salmon River floodplain, close to the river's mouth at the eastern end of Cobequid Bay. The Mi'kmaq name for the Truro area, "Wagobagitik" meaning "end of the water's flow", was shortened by Acadian settlers to "Cobequid" who arrived in the area in the early 1700s and by 1727 had established a small village near the present downtown site of Truro known as "Vil Bois Brule" (Village in the burnt wood).

Through funding from Department of Health Promotion and Protection, Bicycle Nova Scotia contracted Eastwind Cycle (EWC) to conduct a feasibility report on the interest and potential for such an initiative. The Phase I report entitled “Scoping the Blue Route: Feasibility of A Nova Scotia Bikeways Network,” was completed in January 2009. That report provides the rationale for a province-wide bikeways network, examples from other regions and a baseline map for suggested transportation routes. To build on the Phase I the report and its recommendations were presented across Nova Scotia in communities from Yarmouth to Port Hawkesbury from September 2009 – March 2010. The specific goals and objectives of Phase II are summarized in Goals in Appendix I.

  • Lighthouse Route
    Lighthouse Route Halifax to Chester The first leg of your journey will take you southwest along Highway 333 to Whites Lake, on your way to Peggy's Cove's timeless beauty. Continue on Route 3 until you enter Lewis Lake Provincial Park, which is just before Upper Tantallon. Since the mid-nineteenth century, Hubbards, a full- service community at the mouth of St. Margaret's Bay, has been a popular tourist destination. Before arriving in East River, the Lighthouse Route takes you along the Aspotogan Peninsula's ruggedly beautiful coastline, passing through small coastal villages like Blandford, Bayswater, and Northwest Cove. The Lighthouse Route continues to Chester, a historic seaside town known for sailing, tennis, stately homes, studio galleries, and a laid-back attitude. Chester is also the starting point for a trip to the Tancook Islands at the mouth of Mahone Bay, one of Nova Scotia's hidden gems. From Chester, a passenger ferry service operates for 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the islands of Big Tancook and Little Tancook. Driving Distance – 138 KM Chester to Bridgewater (via Lunenburg) Today's colour and coastal elegance will not let you down. The Lighthouse Route continues to Martin's River, where an elegant shoreline park provides spectacular views of the bay and its islands. The Lighthouse Route continues on Route 3 to Mahone Bay from here. The view will entice you to pull over, park your car, and take a walk along the water. A exclusive array of studios and galleries of some of Canada's finest artists and craftspeople, specialty and general- needs shops, a bar, restaurants and cafes, and a visitor information centre line the narrow streets.
