Captivating scenes

The lighthouse at Peggy’s cove is the most famous in the region – situated on a tiny harbour, it makes a stunning first stop. But the jewel in nova scotia’s crown is the photogenic seaside town of lunenburg, a unesco World heritage centre. Take a walking tour of the harbour’s streets, with colourful painted homes dating from the 1750s (lunenburgwalkingtours.com). don’t miss tasting the locally grown apple vodka at ironworks microdistillery too, before heading to the old fish factory for lobster tacos.
