Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia - Canada HD Travel Channel
The Fortress of Louisbourg, a recommended destination for the whole family, is on the Cape Breton Island in the province of Nova Scotia and one of the National Historic Sites of Canada. In the true to original rebuilt parts of the town, history comes alive.
Louisbourg was originally founded by the French and expanded into an important port city. For their protection, a fort was built, which was conquered several times by the British. The history of Louisbourg is closely linked to the history of the Acadians; those who did not swear on the crown, were deported to France or had to search for a new home in New England, Quebec and New Brunswick. After the reconquest by the French, the Acadians were allowed to return. Today, their descendants live in New Brunswick, as well as in Nova Scotia and PEI and represent a significant proportion of the population.
The present town is located in some distance from the fort. At the time of the wars, the fort surrounded the former bourgeois town and served as a protection and military defence against the British. A protection that the common people, the peasants and the poor did not enjoy. They had to eke out a living outside the walls.
An inn was reconstructed as an example of a dwelling of the ordinary people; it is surrounded by a wooden scaffold for drying fish.
The Britsh conquered the town twice. After the initial conquest it was awarded to the French in the second Aachen Peace from 1748.
This did not prevent the British from a second attempt of conquest. This time, 15,000 British with 39 warships were confronting 7000 French with 11 ships. The British took the town and destroyed it completely.
The fastening walls and ditches convey the impression of an impregnable town, but the protection of the back country was illusory. From the hills of the British peered out everything that happened in the fort and their artillery reached nearly every point. Once the British had managed to establish a beachhead on land, the town fell after a seven-week siege.
A year later, Quebec City be conquered by the British.

Die Festung Louisbourg, ein empfehlenswertes Ausflugsziel für Familien, liegt auf der Kap-Breton-Insel in der Provinz Nova Scotia und ist eine der Nationalen historischen Stätten von Kanada. In den ab 1961 originalgetreu wieder aufgebauten Teilen wird die Geschichte wieder lebendig.
Ursprünglich wurde Louisbourg von den Franzosen gegründet und zu einer bedeutenden Hafenstadt ausgebaut. Zu deren Schutz wurde ein Fort gebaut, das mehrere Male von den Briten erobert wurde. Mit der Geschichte Louisbourgs ist die der Akadier verbunden: wer nicht auf die Krone schwören wollte, wurde nach Frankreich deportiert oder musste sich in Neuengland, Québec oder New Brunswick eine neue Heimat suchen. Nach der Rückeroberung durch die Franzosen durften die Akadier wiederkehren. Heute leben ihre Nachkommen in New Brunswick, aber auch in Nova Scotia und P.E.I und stellen einen bedeutenden Anteil an der Bevölkerung.
Die heutige Stadt liegt in einiger Entfernung vom Fort, das zur Zeit der Kriege gegen die britischen Eroberer die damalige bürgerliche Stadt umgab, schützte und militärisch verteidigte. Ein Schutz, den das gewöhnliche Volk, die Bauern und die Armen nicht genossen. Sie hatten das Leben außerhalb der Mauern zu fristen.
Als Beispiel für ein damaliges Wohnhaus der einfachen Menschen wurde eine Gastwirtschaft rekonstruiert, umgeben von einem Holzgerüst zum Trocknen der Fische.
Zweimal eroberten die Briten die Stadt. Nach der ersten Eroberung wurde sie im zweiten Aachener Frieden von 1748 den Franzosen zugesprochen.
Was die Briten nicht von einem zweiten Eroberungsversuch abhielt. Diesmal standen sich 15000 Briten mit 39 Kriegsschiffen und 7000 Franzosen mit 11 Schiffen gegenüber. Die Briten nahmen die Stadt ein und zerstörten sie völlig.
Die Befestigungsmauern und Gräben vermitteln den Eindruck einer uneinnehmbaren Stadt, aber gegenüber dem Hinterland war der Schutz illusorisch. Von den Hügeln aus spähten die Briten alles aus, was in der Festung geschah, und ihre Artillerie erreichte fast jeden Punkt. Nachdem es den Briten gelungen war, einen Brückenkopf an Land zu errichten, fiel die Stadt nach siebenwöchiger Belagerung.
Ein Jahr später konnte dann Québec von den Briten erobert werden.

Thornbury Bridge Picnic Area Tour and Review | Best Free Campsites Motorcamps Camping New Zealand
Review
About as basic as campsite in New Zealand can get while still doing its job well, Thornbury Bridge Picnic Area still has two huge positives going for it.
1.) It's a great place to ride out some bad weather (especially if you're in tents). The site offers many protected places to put up a tent that would shelter it from high winds.
2.) Its literally off the highway so its quite easy to get to.
If you're looking for somewhere scenic to stay, you should keep on driving. This is not a “destination” campsite but it will do for those in transit to someplace further away. The only thing to look at around here is sheep, and even they think you're silly for sticking around for more than one night.
Campsite Details:
Long Drop Toilet(1)
No water available on site
Free Camping Site
Freedom camping allowed
Trash Cans on site
Camp sites available on both side of road
Well sheltered by trees for stormy or windy nights
Unpowered

Travel Planner -
Where the water and rocks meet, you will feel the rush as the river flows over the escarpments edge. So appealing that they merit their own tour, these special places are often just a short drive or hike from busy roads. Host Tom O'Boyle will visit all 7 of Grey County's waterfalls on the 115 mile self-guiding driving tour.
The CDN Cheese Trail - The Eastern Townships
Tucked comfortably into a little nook between the St. Lawrence River and the US border, Quebec’s Eastern Townships have a charm and quiet character all their own. Gently winding roads weave through softly sloping hills, which are dotted with old churches, covered bridges, grazing cattle and proudly preserved
farmhouses. Look just a little more closely and you’ll discover a regional food scene that rivals any other in the country.
