Guysborough

Learn More About Guysbourogh

In the Guysbourogh area you will find nature, truly unspoiled, natural, even untouched. Located at the north east corner of mainland Nova Scotia, you will experience the rugged beauty where the land meets the sea, wooded hills and valleys that stretch to the horizon and quiet little villages nestled into safe harbours.

There’s history here in seaports dating back to the earliest European arrivals in North America, and communities that were among the first on the continent settled by free people of African descent.
