Brent’s Cove

Back to Route 414 and our original route now.  The next road led to two small communities:  Brent’s Cove and Harbour Round. 

The name Brent’s Cove may come from England (there is a South Brent and East Brent there) or it may mean a steep or high place, such as the white point of high land rising to a steep hill between the two communities (More Than Just a Name, Byron A. Brooks, www.travellingnl.com).  Like many other communities on the peninsula, Brent’s Cove is built around a sheltered harbour.  It’s a picturesque town with old and new stages and fishing sheds, and a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere. 

Nestled into the hills, with rocky outcrops protecting the harbour entrance, it’s a beautiful place to get away and let the quiet sink in.  Take a look at what we found in Brent’s Cove.
