Presentazione generale
Irish Loop
Coastal road of fishing villages, bird cliffs and moors swept by the wind south of Avalon.
To understand what Irish Loop is, look at the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, Colony of Avalon and Mistaken Point. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the coastline, wetlands, heritage and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and landscape
Witless Bay Ecological Reserve
The Witless Bay Ecological Reserve protects several rocky islands frequented by huge colonies of seabirds, including macarous monks and tridactyl gulls. From the water, the visit takes on a particular intensity: bird screams, white guano cliffs, short waves and sometimes nearby whales.
Place indismissible
Colony of Avalon
In Ferryland, Colony of Avalon reveals one of the oldest English colonial sites in North America in the form of live excavations. Stone foundations, artifacts, archaeology laboratory and harbour view transform the visit into a patient survey of the daily lives of the first European settlers in Newfoundland.
Nature and landscape
Mistaken Point
Mistaken Point impresses with its rock slabs, where fossils of ancient marine creatures appear, preserved as delicate prints. The landscape adds to the strangeness of the place: rascal moor, steep cliffs, heavy sea and a rare feeling of looking at an almost primitive page of earthly life.
Culture and heritage
Cape Race Lighthouse
Cape Race Lighthouse stands on an isolated tip of the Avalon, in a mist, wind and open sea landscape. The lighthouse remains associated with the transatlantic routes and distress messages of the Titanic, giving white and red vessels a very concrete maritime resonance.
