Worth stopping for

Bishop’s Falls Heritage Centre

On the way to…

  1. YQX → King's Point →

    A small heritage centre in the town of Bishop's Falls, not far off the Trans-Canada not long after leaving the airport. It's a modest first pause on a long push west, close enough to the highway not to cost much time.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 1.5 km to that drive (2h 42m door to door).

  2. YQX → Pilley's Island →

    A small-town heritage centre in Bishop's Falls, the first town of any size west of Gander on this drive. It's a lighter stop than the two museums further on toward Grand Falls-Windsor — worth the few extra minutes if you're passing through anyway.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 1.5 km to that drive (2h 59m door to door).

  3. YDF → Botwood →

    Mapped in the centre of Bishop's Falls, close to where this drive leaves the Trans-Canada for Route 350 north. The town grew around the pulp-and-paper mill and the rail junction, and this is where that history is kept.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 1.5 km to that drive (3h 9m door to door).
