Last summer, after leaving Cape St. Mary's, we headed to Placentia to check out Castle Hill National Historic Site. The hill has the remnants of English and French fortifications from the 17th and 18th centuries. Many a battle was waged over this strategic piece of high ground. We took in the visitor center first and then headed to the castle. The day was perfect for taking in the easy hiking trails around the hill. We used the headsets available at the visitor's center to learn more about the history as we walked around. Castle Hill is definitely worth the stop if you are in the Placentia Bay area.(less)
