Annapolis Valley

Annapolis Valley, situated in charmingly landscaped countryside in Nova Scotia, stretches northward from Digby and Annapolis Royal and runs parallel to the coastline of the Bay of Fundy. The valley with its fertile soil is protected on both sides from cold and unfavorable winds by mountains over 200 m (650 ft) high, in the north by the North Range and in the south by the South Range. Being thus protected from the weather various kinds of fruit and vegetable can flourish. A lot of maize (Indian corn) is also grown here. In May, when the fruit trees are in blossom, the valley is a wonderful sight.
