Annapolis Royal is located on the western coast of the Nova Scotial peninsula, and at the top (or eastern) end of the Annapolis Valley. The town hosts a fort, the only tidal electric power generating plant in North America, and the Historical Gardens. Also to be found there is Newman's, the best restaurant we found in Nova Scotia, and not overly expensive, either. The Historical Gardens are so named because each garden within the compound is set up as a garden would have been at a particular time in history. 20-rt-rosemaze Ruth was happy to be in the Rose Maze at the Historical Gardens in Annaplois Royal. 22-histgarden 24-histgarden histgarden-1 histgarden-2 histgarden-3 histgarden-4 histgarden-5 rt-histgarden-1 rt-histgarden-2 histgarden-6 histgarden-7 histgarden-8 histgarden-9 histgarden-10 histgarden-11 histgarden-12 histgarden-13 bearriver Bear River, Nova Scotia: We only drove through Bear River, which is the center of the only Native American territory in Nova Scotia. The buildings here are on stilts. There's an interesting performance center, Oakdene, where I would have had the chance to perform at an open mic if we had been there on the right day of the week. 8-annapolisvalley Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia: Ruth and I drove through the Annapolis Vallay on our way from Grand Pre to Brier Island. We stopped at the Annapolis Valley MacDonald Museum, where Ruth took in the quilts and I admired the clock collection. willardclock-eaglefilial The Willard clocks intrigued me, since we live about two miles from the Willard House and Clock Museum in Grafton MA. willardclock-plainfilial digbyneck-1 Digby Neck, Nova Scotia: Digby Neck is below the town of Digby, which has a ferry to New Brunswick. The drive down Digby Neck leads to Petit Passage, with a ferry to Long Island. digbyneck-2 rt-digbyneck The 1-tivertonlight Long Island, Nova Scotia: Long Island begins at the western end of Digby Neck peninsula. Digby is the town at the lower (western) end of the Annapolis Valley, and the start of the Evangeline Trail. Petit Passage separates Long Island from Digby Neck, and Grand Passage separates Long Island from Brier Island. Both islands are served by constantly running ferries, with brief crossings. Long Island is famed for its basalt column shores, some marked by yellow sulplur, and Balancing Rock; also for lighthouses. 2-balancingrock 3-basalt
