Englishtown
Canada
Englishtown is a small but historic community on the Cabot Trail, overlooking St. Ann’s Bay. This area has been home to the Mi’kmaq people for thousands of years, long before European settlement. In the 1620s, Scottish explorer Sir Robert Gordon attempted to create one of the first Scottish colonies here, calling it “Nova Scotia.” Though the settlement didn’t last, it marked one of the earliest Scottish efforts in North America. Later, Englishtown became known for fishing, shipbuilding, and ferry crossings, linking travelers across St. Ann’s Bay. Today, it’s most famous for the Englishtown Ferry, a short but scenic trip that gives visitors a taste of Cape Breton’s coastal charm. Surrounded by mountains and ocean, Englishtown is a peaceful stop with rich history, beautiful views, and a gateway to the Cabot Trail.
