Meandering in the Maritimes: Anne of Green Gables





Our stop in Charlottetown was brief, as Uncle Bruce laid out a good 24 hour route covering some must see points on the island. Our first stop was the Anne of Green Gables house in Cavendish.
Alissa forced Anne of Green Gables on Matthew like her mother did to her as a child. We ended up checking out the Montgomery house and then a musical on Anne of Green Gables in Charlottetown later that evening. Alissa loved it, Matt tolerated it.

The high point for Matt was the stroll through Parks Canada protected Haunted Woods and Balsam Hollow. These two trails are just outside the house and are described in the Anne of Green Gables books. The trails gave us a feeling of what the landscape would have been before it was inhabited.

If there are any Anne of Green Gable fan's out there click on this link for a virtual tour of the famous house.
