One of Halifax’s best hidden gems for a fall walk. 🍂

York Redoubt National Historic Site sits high above the entrance to Halifax Harbour in Fergusons Cove, with walking trails, ocean views, and more than 200 years of military history to explore. The fortifications here date back to 1793, when the site was built to help defend Halifax Harbour.

It’s about a 20-minute drive from Downtown Halifax along Purcells Cove Road, or you can get there by Halifax Transit. The grounds are open year-round and admission is free.
