peyton’s woods rv park – Trums Travels

Twillingate is a must see place if you go to Newfoundland. The entire province has lots of great views and things to do but Twillingate is a special place.(minus all the construction on the main road going in this past summer!)

We drove to Long Point Lighthouse and went inside, paying a little extra for one of the staff to walk with us up to the top. You are not allowed to do it on your own. The views were pretty spectacular and when you exit the Lighthouse, there are all kinds of trails and viewpoints to discover.

Completed in 1876

We went to another dinner theatre, Twillingate NWI Dinner Theatre. It was a typical Newfoundland music/comedy show and the dinner was delicious. They usually have chicken or some form of seafood as choices. Recommended for those who are in the area.

There is lots of hiking trails in this area and we did do a couple of them. We did the Lower Little Harbour Trail which took us down to a very cool arch in the water and then you climbed a whole lot of stairs, which I hate. I can walk uphill but stairs are my nemesis. When we go to the top, it wasn’t really a defined trail, more like climb over this rock and go around those rocks. We did not do the entire trail, we turned around because some days I am not “up to snuff”. But I did enjoy the part we did.

We also did the Black Rock trail, which also took us down by the water and I guess I took a picture of the sign and thought to myself “good enough!” because I don’t have any of the trail.

There is a micro brewery in the town called Split Rock Brewing Company which of course we had to go, a couple of times. We spotted the cutest little dog there wearing a little skirt! We also played Corn Hole, one of the few games I am good at and I love playing it. The beer was okay, didn’t really stand out but it was good.

So below just a few photos, one is of Peyton’s Woods, a campground that we stayed at for 4 nights and then the Pumpkin House which was built in 1872 and we also did a visit to Auk Winery. We just tried a couple of wines but didn’t buy any. It was a lot of fruit wines and yes I know, grapes are fruit but this was OTHER fruit like strawberry, blackberry, those types of fruit.
