Hiking Pollett’s Cove, Cape Breton Island

July 14, 2019July 14, 2019 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 5 Comments

For years, I have heard of a place in Northern Cape Breton Island that is home to wild horses along with moose, seals, bears and coywolves.

Knitting and brewing coffee in Pollett's Cove, Cape Breton Island all while horses grazed about us! Of course I carried the sweater that I'm knitting in my pack... Completely normal hiking gear, wouldn't you agree? 🌜 . I wrote a blog post about this 19km return hike to Pollett's Cove! Dreaming of getting back here some day soon 🐴 . #capebreton #knittersofinstagram #novascotia #getoutside #explorecanada #knit #pollettscove #naturewitch

Foggy forest by the Atlantic Ocean - the sun has been very generous, so of course, I'm dreaming of the fog 🌫️ #novascotia #capebreton #getoutside #hiking

All bound up and off to Michigan 💙 I hope you all enjoyed your Monday! #simple #handmade #artisans #knittersofinstagram

Flora & Fauna handknit Lopi Sweater! Up on my blog: a few words (but mostly rambling about nature) on this sweater that I knit and designed during the winter months and packed in my kit bag to carry around Cape Breton Island just to get a photo in beautiful Ingonish (knitter priorities!) 🌲💚 This sweater actually sold today and will be off and away on her journey to the States! 🌊☺️ Off to weed the garden with the dwindling light! #handknit #livefolk #novascotia #knittersofinstagram #getoutside

My first view of beautiful Pollett's Cove on the North-West Coast of Cape Breton Island 💙 this was once a remote fishing community but abandoned in the first part of the 20th century. The horses were left and have thrived creating a lush pasture cradled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Highlands 🌲 it's quite honestly one of the most beautiful places I have ever hiked to and can not suggest it enough if you like hiking! #novascotia #pollettscove #capebreton #hiking #getoutside

A small summer shop update 🌿 birch leaf fairy socks and some mittens - thank you so much for supporting our shop in the sweltering heat of summer 💚 we finally have had a couple of warm days here and I've been just so happy to swim in the ocean 🌊 #livefolk #simple #knitting
