DIRECTIONS FROM YARMOUTH
(30 Minute drive) Yarmouth is the stepping stone to Nova Scotia for many American visitors. After you leave "CUSTOMS", go out of the gate and turn left onto Water Street and drive to the end (approx 10 blocks). There is a Golden Horse Statue in the middle of the road. Pull along side and turn LEFT onto ROUTE 1 (the Evangeline Trail). Alternatively, if you need to stop at a bank, food store, etc,... When you get to the gate at Customs, go up the hill one block and then LEFT on to Main Street (becomes Route 1). Continue on ROUTE 1 for about 25 minutes until you enter the village of Meteghan. Then Blue Rock cottage (civic # 8095) will be on your left; if you pass Tim Horton' s on your right then you have gone too far.


DIRECTIONS FROM DIGBY , N.S.
As you leave Digby, take Route # 1 Southbound. When you enter the village of Meteghan (about 45 minutes from Digby), you will pass the Meteghan church, Tim Horton's, and the Post Office on your left hand side. You are less then one minute away from Blue Rock Cottage.

Route 1 follows the Municipality of Clare, (referred to as the Acadian or French Shore), which passes through 12 French-speaking villages between St. Bernard and Salmon River all with a strong Francophone presence. The bilingual habitants are descendants of the first European settlers who came from France in the early 1600's. This is a region of handmade quilts, dry fish, long peaceful beaches, towering cliffs, picturesque bays and charming villages where fishing and boat building shape coastal life.
