Visit two of Halifax's most famous landmarks -- Peggy's Cove and the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, the final resting place of 121 Titanic passengers.
As you travel along the Lighthouse Route, your expedition begins with lovely views of wooded coastal roads. You're on your way to the historic community of Peggy's Cove. Hear how glaciers and constant pounding from ocean waves have shaped the granite shores of this world-renowned village. During your visit, see the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, which has inspired generations of writers, photographers and painters.
Don't miss the famous de Garthe Monument, which artisan William de Garthe carved in coarse stone. Explore the shops and galleries around this working fishing community before returning to town.
At the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, your guide will walk the grounds with you, bringing to life the tale of the great ship Titanic and its ill-fated maiden voyage. Discover the true identities of the unknown child and J. Dawson -- both recovered from the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Their stories are part of a legacy that continues to fascinate visitors more than 100 years later.
Notes:
The main venues at Peggy's Cove are wheelchair accessible; however, many smaller shops are not. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
