Worth stopping for

Newtown

On the way to…

  1. Road to the Shore →

    The province's tourism site calls Newtown the Venice of Newfoundland, built across small islands, and points to the Barbour House: a Queen Anne-style merchant's mansion from 1904 with its original furnishings, beside the town's heritage village.

    Stopping here adds about 4.8 km to that drive (307 km start to finish).
