Wolfville is on the Acadian Lines
bus
route connecting Halifax and Yarmouth. Buses stop - inconveniently - on the Acadia University campus, a good ten-minute walk west of the tiny town centre, which consists of a few blocks of Main Street and several subsidiary side streets. The
tourist office
is located on the east side of the town centre, just off Main Street on Willow Avenue (daily: May-June & Sept to mid-Oct 9am-5pm; July & Aug 9am-7pm; tel 542-7000). They have information on the whole of the Annapolis Valley as well as local accommodation lists and details of the Cape Split hike
. The town has several splendid
inns
and
B&Bs
, the pick of the bunch in attractively renovated old mansions. Tempting choices include the
Blomidon Inn
, 127 Main St (tel 542-2291 or 1-800/565-2291,
www.blomidon.ns.ca
; $80-100), an elegant sea captain's mansion with 21 guestrooms and four acres of carefully maintained gardens; the plush and rather formal Victoriana of the balconied and high-gabled
Tattingstone Inn
, just 700m or so west of the centre at 434 Main St (tel 542-7696 or 1-800/565-7696,
www.tattingstone.ns.ca
; $80-100); and the appealing
Seaview House B&B
, in an attractive older house with a balcony and veranda in the centre just off Main Street at 8 Seaview Ave (tel 542-1436; $40-60; May-Sept).
For
food
, there are good snacks and cakes and great coffee at
The Coffee Merchant
, Elm at Main; everything from pizzas through to burgers and sandwiches at inexpensive
Al's
(closes at 6pm), just down the street; and delicious salads and seafood at the smart
Acton's CafAŠ
, 268 Main St (tel 542-7525). Finally, there's the
Chez la Vigne
restaurant, 17 Front St, which offers exquisite French regional cuisine at surprisingly affordable prices. Other useful information
