About Windsor, NS

Windsor sits where the Avon River meets the Annapolis Valley, a quick 63 km run from Halifax on Highway 101, roughly an hour's drive and a popular day trip for city folks. Locals hop between nearby spots like Falmouth (5 km), Wolfville (29 km), and Kentville (39 km) along the same highway, while visitors flying into Halifax Stanfield (69 km away) can charge up their EV along the 101 corridor before continuing on. Windsor bills itself as the birthplace of hockey, thanks to games played on Long Pond in the early 1800s, and every October it hosts the Pumpkin Regatta, where paddlers race across the water in hollowed-out giant pumpkins.
