WITH new direct flights from the UK,
new accommodation types and significant historic anniversaries, there's plenty
happening in Atlantic Canada as the region prepares for the 2014 visitor season
that starts this month.
Fewer than six hours' flying time
from the UK, a trip to New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia or
Prince Edward Island will delight visitors with diverse wildlife, outdoor
adventure, seafood fresh from the Atlantic, miles of coastline and scenic
driving routes.
Holiday in a box The Old Salt Box
Co., which offers accommodation in restored salt box houses in Newfoundland and
Labrador, will open in two new locations: Greenspond and Musgrave Harbour in
Bonavista North on the north-east coast of Newfoundland. Salt box homes were
made with wooden slats and were popular among Newfoundland settlers between
1865-1920. The company now has six properties accommodating two to six people.
The homes have contemporary furnishings, modern appliances, authentic antique
bath tubs and signature picture windows. Salt boxes start from £75 per night
based on two people sharing. www.theoldsaltboxco.com
New flights
French airline Europe Airpost will
launch scheduled flights linking Glasgow with the Nova Scotian capital of
Halifax this summer. It will operate a weekly service from July 4 until August
29.
Dine out on history A Taste of the Past
is just one of the new island-themed cooking classes available at Annie's Table,
Prince Edward Island's (PEI) first dedicated private culinary studio. Housed in
a former church, Annie's Table offers hands-on cooking classes using
island-sourced produce. Taste of the Past will honour the 150th anniversary of
the Charlottetown Conference of 1864, at which the idea of Canada as a nation
was proposed.
