Lots to do in and around Antigonish! Some old favourites and a couple of surprises — a great little guidebook with lovely photos.

An excellent guide to Antigonish and environs. I know the area somewhat and I was pleasantly surprised by the many locations and attractions I hadn’t been aware of. It makes me want to spend more time exploring around Antigonish. The pictures, maps and websites are a great addition. If you’re going to the area, the book is a must. If you haven’t been, this will whet your appetite.

A wonderful resource especially for me originally from Ontario, looking forward to visiting new places I haven’t seen yet. Love the photos.
