Far-Fetched Antiques and Art Gallery

Now centrally located in the heart of Annapolis Royal. Located in the Ol'Newman's building, this lovely majestic building from 1922 is now home to Canada's premier antiques & art gallery. Don't miss the secluded garden which features stone and metal garden statuary, and of course an authentic Tiki Bar.

We visited Far-Fetched Antigues a few days after after hurrican Dorian hit Annapolis Royal and it was the first day of opening after the storm. A beautiful collection of antigues and collectables , especially from the Far East is ready for browsing. All very well arranged by owner Cindy, temporarely assisted by her sister Susan from Toronto. Absolutely a "must' visit in Annapolis Royal.

Deb’s lively decorating style breathes life into her well-known menagerie of creatures, and motifs. These creations are sculpted, painted and carved onto Ray Mackie’s hand thrown and hand built forms. Deb feels honoured and energized knowing that her work brings a beautiful utility into the everyday lives of collectors near and far.

Annapolis Royal Farmers' and Traders' Market

Reviewed By stsuian - Drayton Valley, Canada

There was so much culture at this market I could've shopped all day. One stand with the freshest maple syrup (with taste testers), native art made my local natives, local artists displaying a variety of mediums they use, local novelists, bakers, canners, weavers, the list goes on and on. One of the most versatile markets I've been to.

Mickey Hill Provincial Park

Reviewed By kfamily6 - Digby, Canada

Recommend this short hike. Trail is well maintained including bridges. You can walk to river on right or to the end to lake. Clear water with pebble beach. Spent an afternoon here. You can swim, get sun or relax in shade. The walk isn't too long either. Bring a picnic but remember no littering ;)

Great hiking spot. The wooded trail takes you out to the ocean. Waterfall with lookoff. Interested to see all of the fern species.

Very large selection of beer and cider on tap. The staff were friendly. It is unusual to have such a variety of locally made ciders. The cranberry cider was my favourite withe ginger one a close second.

Annapolis Royal Lighthouse

The Historical Association of Annapolis Royal, who operates the popular Candlelight Graveyard Tours, also owns this historic lighthouse. It serves as the headquarters for their award-winning National Historic District, Acadian / Mi'kmaq and Cradle of Our Nation Tours which raise funds for preservation of the lighthouse. Tours have been postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions. The lighthouse was built in 1889 and is situated almost halfway between the Equator and the North Pole in the heart of Canada's largest national historic district.

This lighthouse is almost brand new . It was started to be built last year. It is located right on the town of Annapolis Royal and you walk right by it on the new boardwalk on the Main Street. It is a lovely walk with great views of The Bay of Fundy. Well worth the walk especially on a nice day
