Nestled by Trinity Bay in Newfoundland, the seaside town of Trinity is a heritage destination that draws travelers from across the seas. First settled by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the town has plenty of history and culture to discover, as well as loads of outdoor adventures to look forward to. The town has painstakingly preserved its heritage architecture, with many of its historic buildings recognized today as Registered Heritage Structures. The Cooperage celebrates the old tradition of barrel making, which was fueled by the region’s prosperous shipping industry. The Dock Marina, English Harbour Arts Centre, and Mercantile Building Provincial Historic Site are among dozens of other heritage sites that showcase Trinity’s past. The film locations of the popular drama, The Shipping News, are popular not just for posterity but also for their panoramic ocean views from the cliff tops.
