For those interested in Canoeing, Fishing, or hiking this is a excellent trip. Continue along route 10 to Cape Broyle and visit the Devil's Stairway, an interesting Rock formation where Satan is supposed to have left his footprints in the face of the cliff. South along the Irish loop is Ferryland where one of the first English settlements in North America was founded in the 1620s. Over the past decade archaeologists have been excavating the Colony of Avalon . You can watch the dig and take a guided tour.
Artifacts are on display near the dig site.
Ferryland also has an intriguing community museum, and every summer hosts a folk festival to celebrate a strong Irish heritage. A short drive down the coast will bring you to Aquaforte where the harbour resembles a Norwegian fjord. Long ago a squadron of the French fleet ran aground to avoid bombardment by the English. Some say they buried a treasure here and made their way across the peninsula by foot to Placentia. This community is so old the Mayflower stopped here for fresh water on its way to Plymouth Rock.
