Happy Canada Day with Atlantic Canada - Destination Special

It’s July 1 which means it’s Canada Day and we are going to be celebrating Canada with this bonus destination special episode. Canada has been mentioned so many times as a favourite destination on the podcast by everyone from Ben Fogle and Dan Snow to Nadiya Hussain and Ella Eyre, and today, in celebration of Canada Day, I thought it would be a great opportunity to shine a light on a region of Canada that has historically been somewhat overlooked by tourists but is now gaining a real hype with in the know travellers, and that is the region of Atlantic Canada.Today I’m joined by writer and adventurer Hugh Francis Anderson, who has written extensively about Atlantic Canada, and he’s here to share his travel diaries from the region.Destination RecapThe Alexander Murray Hiking Trail, Newfoundland & LabradorCabot Trail, Cape Breton Island, Nova ScotiaBar Kismet, HalifaxKouchibouguac National Park, New BrunswickThe Inn at Bay Fortune, Prince Edward IslandGros Morne National ParkThank you so much for listening today. If you’re enjoying the podcast, then it would wonderful if you could leave a rating or a review on your podcast app - it really makes a big difference because it helps other people to discover the podcast.
