Liscomb

From Liscomb, the major city of Cape Breton Island is approximately 100 miles (161 kilometers) to the northeast.

Of course, visiting just one place, regardless of its popularity, will only ever provide you with a narrow window into the wider natural and cultural makeup of a region. So schedule in some time to delve into Nova Scotia's other cultural and natural attractions. Port Dufferin, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the east, and Guysborough, 35 miles (56 kilometers) to the southwest of Liscomb are also well worth checking out.

The best places for travelers to visit when they discover a new town are the spots that provide a picture of the local culture. Head to Nova Scotia's nature museums, history museums and art galleries. Spend the time to really get to know Nova Scotia by researching its past. A great place to start is with a visit to the area's historic traditional villages.

The Liscomb area is a great place to get into the great outdoors and make the most of winter. When temperatures drop, pull on your woollens and spend the day skiing or snow shoeing. Why not take advantage of locals keen to share their passion and knowledge and sign on for a specialised tour? Wildlife spotting tours, city walking tours and guided nature walks are popular in this area.

At the finish of your vacation to this incredible region, keep in mind that you can always return. As they say: A visitor once, a friend from now on.
