Highway 103 along the way
If Highway 102 was mainly the history of French
settlers, then Highway 103 would bring us to understand the British colonial
history of the year.
This route is only 100 kilometers, but focused on
several major Nova Scotia attractions:
1. Peggy’s Cove

Peggy’s Cove is 45 kilometers from Halifax. It is a
coastal town. The town has a historic lighthouse. Its feature is that the
lighthouse and town are built on a huge white cliff rock by the sea. There is
no beach in Peggy's Cove and some rock coasts. It is one of the landmarks in the
Atlantic Province, and it is the most romantic lighthouse town in the world.
Address: Peggy’s Cove, NS, Canada (view map)
The way to arrive: the town is about half an hour's
drive from Halifax.

It is a French colonial style seaside town, beautiful
scenery. The town consists of more than 100 small islands. Its landmark
buildings are three different architectural churches in town, which represent
different religions. It's located on a trip to Lundenburg. Because it is a
harbor, the house is particularly bright in color, in order to make it easier
for the fisherman to see the direction of his home when returning at night. It
is also part of the southern coast tour of Halifax.

Now the Bluenose II behind the 10 - cent coin is built

a Part of the Nova Scotia Museum. Mainly introduces the situation of fishery

Lunenburg town is very quiet, most of the buildings
are about 200 years old, walking in the street, but also unique flavor.
