Bio

This hike is around Kennington Cove through an extensive protected area and National Historic Site, enclosing the largest untouched 18th-century battlefield in North America. The cove is named after the warship HMS Kennington, which took part in the final capture of the fortress in 1758.

This is a hike profiled by Michael Haynes in hiking trails of Cape Breton book. For the most part, you follow the coastline until you hit the bridge at Soapstone Brook, turn left and this trail takes you out to the road you drove in on to create a loop back to your vehicle.
