Harbour Round

Harbour Round is true to its name – a community wrapped around a surprisingly round harbour.  A narrow entrance provides access to the open ocean.

Welcome to Harbour Round

Hard to see from the picture, but the harbour IS round

Houses lie in clusters around the harbour and into the protective hills.  It’s clear that fishing was a big part of this town, as there are fishing sheds, stages, and boats everywhere you look.

Love the signs they have along this coast

Pretty little town

I guess this is why they were sometimes called "tilts"?

Beautiful harbour

Many fish have been processed here

Near the entrance to the town, there’s a lookout atop a short climb up a set of steps (warning: watch for splinters).  From here you can see most or all of the town and the harbour and access a walking trail to explore the area even more.  There are picnic tables available on the lookout, and it would be an incredibly beautiful place to sit and have lunch while enjoying the view.

A peaceful town, it’s a lovely place to spend some time relaxing.  We didn’t get to do the trail, so if you have, please let us know what you found in Harbour Round.

Found in Newfoundland!

Welcome to the first entry of the Found in Newfoundland blog.

I’ve always loved exploring this beautiful province, and there are many places I go back to time and time again. However, this year, I decided to also visit some places that I’ve never been before, particularly around the central part of the province. I decided to write a blog to share my travels - and the wonderful things I find along the way - with others who do, and always will, love Newfoundland.

Part of the reason for the interest in traveling around the province this year is to collect more photographs for my online store, selling Newfoundland souvenirs, prints, and other gift items featuring photographs of Newfoundland. So this blog will also feature some of the products which arise from my travels as well. Want to take home a memory or piece of Newfoundland? Now you can. But no photos will ever completely capture the splendour of the landscapes and seascapes you’ll find here.

The next few entries will be descriptions of some of the trips/adventures I’ve had already this year. So far, I’ve been to the Salmonier Nature Park, Signal Hill, Fort Amherst, Bell Island, and the Cape Shore. I’ve also been fortunate enough to do one boat tour out of Bay Bulls, with another one coming up this weekend.

So please come back often to see where I’ve been and where I go next. And if you decide you want to know more about a particular area, then why not plan your trip here?

There are still many who don't know where Newfoundland is - but most who have been here long to come back. To most, no matter where they now live, it will always be “home.” I hope I can bring a little of the wonder of this amazing place to life for you.
