Fodor's Expert Review Discovery Trail

If history and quaint towns appeal to you, follow this trail, which is accessible from the Trans-Canada Highway (Rte. 1) on Route 230 or 230A at Clarenville, or at Port Blandford on Route 233. It includes two gems: the old town of Trinity, famed for its architecture and theater festival, and Bonavista, one of John Cabot's reputed landing spots. The provincial tourism website ( www.newfoundlandlabrador.com) has a more detailed description. Clarenville itself is largely a departure point for these more attractive destinations.
