Atlantic Canada
Newfoundland has a rugged, weather-beaten appearance. Lying on the edge of Canada it is ruled heavily by the sea. Arctic currents and winds from the north keep Newfoundland cool the year round with the warmest months being July and August.
The island of Newfoundland boasts North America's oldest city – St Johns, as one of its main attractions. This was Britain's first overseas colony and is considered the birth place of the British Empire. Stroll down the streets of this idyllic town and take in the awesome view of the harbour and surrounds from historic Signal Hill.
Newfoundland's weathered shoreline is the perfect place for exploring with some of the most amazing views you will ever find. Fishing, always the primary industry in the province, has spawned a number of quaint traditional villages along the inlets and bays, the streets of which are lined with colourful clapboard houses and exceptionally friendly and gracious locals
