Discover the historic charm of Wolfe's Landing amid scenic shores.
Wolfe’s Landing National Historic Site is located in Kennington Cove, on the east coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Contained entirely within the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, the site is bounded by a rocky beach to the south, and a rolling landscape of grasses and forest to the north, east and west. It was from this site that, during the Seven Years’ War, British forces launched their successful attack on the French forces at Louisbourg. The site includes the cove with its two modern beaches, numerous trails, and the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada cairn. Official recognition refers to the irregular five-hectare polygon that encompasses the site.
The ideal time to visit Wolfe's Landing National Historic Site is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the site's full splendour can be appreciated. Winters can be harsh, with limited access and services, so plan your visit accordingly to capture the essence of this historic locale.
