CAMPBELLTON

 Sugaring-off, fiddlehead picking, salmon celebrating, autumn hiking, downhill skiing- Campbellton is the city for all seasons! The amber magic of maple syrup is a sweet end to wonderful white winters. One of the highlights of summer is the Salmon Festival which is celebrated the first week of July. The waterfront comes alive with music and people strolling down Salmon Boulevard, having their pictures taken with the world's largest salmon at the Salmon Plaza.

 

 

Campbellton is a beautiful, dramatically picturesque gateway to the Acadian Coastal Drive and the Appalachian Range. Antique and craft stores, great golf, unparalleled bird-watching opportunities, visual art, history, science and technology exhibits - something for everyone. Getting here is exciting and beautiful, being here is even better. The city may be small, but it's mighty pretty and lots of fun too!

PERTH

 Once the capital of medieval Scotland, Perth has a rich heritage that is reflected in many of its buildings. It was in the Church of St John, founded in 1126, that the preacher John Knox delivered the fiery sermons that led to the destruction of many local monasteries. The Victorianized Fair Maid’s House (c.1600), on North Port, is one of the oldest houses in town and was the fictional home of the heroine of Sir Walter Scott’s The Fair Maid of Perth (1828).

 

Scone Palace, East Front: Historic Home of the Earls of Mansfield

  

Three km north of Perth, the Gothic Scone Palace stands on the site of an abbey destroyed by John Knox’s followers in 1559. It is one of Scotland's grandest stately homes. Between the 9th and 13th centuries, Scone guarded the sacred Stone of Destiny, now in Edinburgh Castle, on which the Scottish kings were crowned. It has magnificent collections of porcelain, furniture, ivories, 18th-century clocks and 16th-century needlework, as well as a playground and fine gardens to explore.

DURHAM

 Durham is one of England's most memorable small cities - primarily for its enormous cathedral. The country's finest piece of ecclesiastical Norman architecture erupts out of thickly wooded banks on a bend of the Wear River. Largely traffic-free lanes around the peninsula, riverside paths and, in summer, river cruises and rowing boats for rent, add to the city's appeal. Durham University is the third oldest and most prestigoius in England, after Oxford and Cambridge.

 The bulk of the present day cathedral was built between 1093 and 1133, in unadulterated Norman style, most tangible in the nave's colossal pillars still incized with chevron patterns. The church's sheer size was made possible by the groundbreaking use of rib vaulting and pointed arches. It dominates the view from the water, the town, the railroad and the countryside for miles around.
