Cape Breton Highlands National Park

The drive to the Acadian village of Cheticamp, where some of the world’s most sought-after hooked rugs are handcrafted, is about 2 hours from Sydney and 5 hours from Halifax. Plan to stay. The charming village, rich with culture, is located near the entrance to Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
