If you want a true authentic pub atmosphere and great food and service, you can't go wrong with Paddy's - they have some of the best pub food and appetizers around. My recommendation is the Bruschetta to share and the Bison Burger (made with their own brewed Raven Beer) - a real must!

Hall's Harbour is a picturesque fishing community located along the shore of the Bay of Fundy, in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It lends its name both to the small fishing hamlet and to the wider community which takes up an area roughly 5 kilometers square. On the south, the area overlooks the Annapolis Valley, on the north overlooks the Bay of Fundy, on the east Sheffield Vault and on the west Chipman Brook. The area is very scenic and the hamlet itself has been declared a Nova Scotia Tourism Destination Area. The Harbour boasts a fine restaurant and lobster pound, artists studios, antiques and artisans galleries

Wolfville is situated in the North Western portion of Nova Scotia, along the shores of the Minas Basin which is part of the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides. The Town is separated from the Minas Basin by agricultural dykes which were built by Acadians in the 17th century. Wolfville experiences the Bay of Fundy's record setting tides each day as water fills and drains from the Wolfville Harbour, which is the world's smallest harbour. There's something about Wolfville that is satisfying to the furthest depths of your soul. We could try to define it by mentioning how our sustainability sensibility, blended with our intense sense of community, make this place immensely rewarding.

From Waterfront Park, located in downtown Wolfville you can explore one of the world’s most dramatic and dynamic coastlines. Home to the highest tides in the world, the Bay of Fundy is a 270 km (170 mile) long ocean bay that stretches between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on Canada's east coast.
Each day 100 billion tonnes of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy during one tide cycle - more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers. And the water level at high tide can be as much as 16 metres (52 feet) higher than at low tide.

From December to February Sheffield Mills, outside of Canning, becomes a great sightseeing destination for those who enjoy eagles. Residents of the Community have turned the last two weekends in January into an ever growing event. Along with the population of eagles, the watch now features other events such as pancake breakfasts, and musical entertainment.
Many Bald Eagles as well as other birds of prey frequent the area largely due to chicken farmers leaving meals for them in some of the surrounding fields. More than 500 eagles have been counted in recent years during the Eagle Watch and it is not unusual to have a tree with more than 30 birds perched in it.

One of Nova Scotia’s great day hikes has got to be the hike to Cape Split. The current trail is approximately 6 km one way with a return travel time of four to five hours and the views are breathtaking. Users are advised to stay on the trail, wear sturdy footwear and layered clothing, and carry plenty of drinking water.

In addition to our natural scenic wonders, Wolfville is also a home for wildlife. The Robie Tufts Nature Centre was constructed to preserve one of the few local homes (the building’s chimney) of a species of migratory bird called chimney swifts. In addition to protecting the swifts' habitat and providing people with the opportunity to observe their spectacular antics, this interpretative centre seeks to promote awareness of and interest in local natural history and the environment.
We welcome all visitors to relax or picnic in this natural area and view beautiful Cape Blomidon from the midst of Wolfville. Nearby, you can wander through Wolfville's first Peace Park.
