ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS:
Green Gables Heritage Place

Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site includes the Site of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Home and Green Gables Heritage Place.
Beaconsfield Historic House
Built in 1877 for James and Edith Peake, Beaconsfield was one of Charlottetown’s most elegant homes. Featuring the finest in materials and craftsmanship, it was also equipped with all the latest conveniences of the day. The Peakes, unfortunately, were destined to enjoy Beaconsfield for a very short time - a time filled with triumphs and tragedies.
Confederation Bridge
The Confederation Bridge joins the eastern Canadian provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, making travel throughout the Maritimes easy and convenient. The curved, 12.9 kilometre (8 mile) long bridge is the longest in the world crossing ice-covered water, and more than a decade after its construction, it endures as one of Canada’s top engineering achievements of the 20th century.
Confederation Trail
When Prince Edward Island's railway was abandoned in 1989 Islanders were quick to notice a unique opportunity. The idea of a tip-to-tip shared use walking and cycling trail in the summer and a snowmobile trail in the winter was born. With beautiful rolling hill scenery, quaint villages and broad bay seascapes, the Confederation Trail is Canada's portion of the Trans Canada Trail.
Golf Prince Edward Island
Picture yourself on one of more than 25 golf courses, all located within 45 minutes of each other. We are proud to be known as "Canada's #1 Golf Destination". Everywhere you play, you find that "just right” mix of natural scenery and topography, masterful course design, moderate climate, and abundant off-the-course activities.
Parks Canada
National Parks are a country-wide system of representative natural areas of Canadian significance. By law, they are protected for public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment, while being maintained in an unimpaired state for future generations. National Parks have existed in Canada for well over a century.
PEI Cycling Association
Cycling PEI is a non-profit, volunteer-directed provincial body for bicycling. We represent a large range of disciplines including road, mountain bike, BMX and track in areas of recreation, youth and competition. Cycling PEI is affiliated with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) through our partnership with the Canadian Cycling Association (CCA) and is a member of the Atlantic Cycling Center in Dieppe.
The Village of Avonlea
Avonlea was the fictitious name that Island author, Lucy Maud Montgomery gave to Cavendish in her most famous novel, Anne of Green Gables. Our idea was to re-create the look and feel of the community that Montgomery lived in and wrote about.
