This area of pictersque villages and small fishing towns was established almost 400 years ago and remains rich in history. There are several historic sites to choose from including Charles Fort and Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal, and Grand-Pre National Site and Deportation Cross in Grand-Pre, where there are also many trails around the town's Acadian church. If you take Highway 101 to the Annapolis Valley you will have many choices as to where to stop. Drive Highway 101 to the 360 and then exit right on Highway 221 at Welsford and you will find the Black Rock Light a close drive from Buckleys Corner. The area where this light is situated offers great views and if you're lucky you might even spot a whale or seals in the summer months. Another option is Baxters Harbour. You would have to drive on the 101 and take exit 12 to the 341 north following signs that lead you to Baxters. The paved road ends a bit away from the harbour and you may want to be careful about parking your rental RV here at certain times of the year. Still, the peaceful, pristing harbour is worth it as is the waterfall, which roars into the ocean at times of high tide.
