While weary travellers can truly rest in our seaside rural Bed and Breakfast, nestled in perfect picture-postcard Prospect Village, Nova Scotia, just a hop skip and jump in the car and 30 minutes down the road finds you at the Historic Halifax Citadel National Historic Site and gateway to the world of East Coast fun. To choose your own idea of fun, see www.halifax.ca/visitors

Halifax, founded in 1749, has the largest non-freezing saltwater harbour in the world (next to Sydney Australia - but crikie, not many iceberg floating in Circular Quay, Mate!). It is a walker's and history buff's paradise.
