The trail snakes north of
the Bras d'Or Lake, runs northward along the Atlantic Ocean to Cape
North near the tip and then turns southward to run along the west
side of the Island. Here, it swings inland at the Margaree area to
complete a rough circle and returns to Baddeck, one of the largest
communities on the Trail. This picturesque village is home to
the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, a museum that
captures the genius of the inventor who summered here from 1892
until his death in 1922. He is buried at nearby Beinn Bhreagh, his
long-time summer residence.
Perhaps Alexander Graham Bell described it best. "I have
travelled around the globe," he wrote. "I have seen the Canadian
and American Rockies, the Andes and the Alps and the highlands
of Scotland; but for simple beauty, Cape Breton out rivals them all."
