Port Royale

Fort Anne

Monday, we headed back Northwest to camp in DunrominCampsite outside of Port Royale. Here we saw the remains of Fort Anne another star shaped Fort (but only in earthen works) from the time of the French and British competition. Port Royale was the original capital of Nova Scotia and in the officers quarter we saw one of the two remaining copies of the Charter of Nova Scotia. This town faced a similar history to Grand Pre with most of the French property confiscated and the people deported.

Historic Gardens

Nearby is the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens. The gardens is particularly noted for his Rose Gardens, but it also has a large variety of different gardens and was a pleasant place to take a stroll admiring the various plants.
