Neighborhoods
There is lots to see and do in Annapolis Royal from walking historic Fort Anne, a National Historic Site to Candlelight Graveyard Tour of the Garrison Cemetery, the oldest English graveyard in Canada. The town itself features some of Canada’s oldest wooden buildings along a charming streetscape that has been designated a National Historic District. Be sure to stop in at the tranquil Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens, which was named the Top Garden in Canada in 2015. You can also visit North America’s only tidal generating power plant to learn how the tides have been harnessed to generate electricity.
Shops full of local artisan goods, great east coast food and stunning views await in this lovely little town.
