Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia

The Annapolis Valley is located in the western part of the Nova Scotia peninsula, formed by a trough between two parallel mountain ranges along the shore of the Bay of Fundy.

The Valley measures approximately 126 km in length from Digby and the Annapolis Basin in the west to Wolfville and the Minas Basin in the east, spanning the counties of Digby, Annapolis and Kings. Some also include the western part of Hants County, including the towns of Hantsport and Windsor even further to the east, but geographically speaking they are part of the Avon River valley.

The Annapolis Valley is the oldest settled region of Canada and is famous for its apple harvest. In fact, it's among the top 3 fruit growing regions in all of Canada. And, with an average of 55 more days of sun than other areas of Nova Scotia, Summer in the Valley serves up perfect weather for enjoying golf, tennis, soccer, swimming and many other sports.

The Annapolis Valley's rich history, beautiful landscapes and local charm make it a popular destination for travelers visiting Nova Scotia.
