Those mountains you’ll see making up the backdrop of Corner Brook, Newfoundland? That’s actually the Appalachian… yep, an extension of the ones you’ll find down in the US! It was the famous Captain James Cook who helped put this beautiful region of Canada on the map in the 18th century, though hundreds of years later this fishing village also became notable as one of the largest paper processing mills anywhere in the world. But none of the city’s modern-day industrial success detracts from the all the green you’ll find around here — nature has so many ways to impress and be enjoyed with various parks and trails, while the downtown area offers great shopping, sipping and dining.
