Established in 1793 on a bluff overlooking the harbour entrance, and expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries, York Redoubt was a key element in the defence of Halifax Harbour. Visit the Second World War Command Centre, and enjoy the scenic views of the harbour mouth and adjacent coastline.

Payment Accepted:

From Halifax, follow Quinpool or Chebucto Road to the Armdale Rotary. Drive around the Rotary and take the exit onto Herring Cove Road. At the lights, fork left onto Purcell's Cove Road. Drive about 8km and look for the Beaver sign on the left.

This is a great place to check out the view of Halifax Harbor and the open Atlantic. I like to bring a picnic lunch and spend an afternon wandering on the shore and around the historic buildings. A great place to visit in Halifax!
