Hidden Newfoundland

Newfoundland and Labrador holds far more than the sights that tourism guides typically feature. This book is written for curious readers, whether they are locals or visitors from elsewhere, who want to explore beyond the usual destinations. Across the province, the landscape conceals geological wonders, puzzling histories, unusual structures, and remote places.

The sites include unexplored cave systems, the remains of Cold War-era aircraft, crumbling churches in communities that were resettled long ago, and abandoned air force bases. The book also covers the ruins of Newfoundland's first pulp mill and the mines that run beneath many communities. Its aim is to inspire wonder and curiosity and to draw attention to the many unusual and peculiar locations scattered throughout the province.

More than 80 of these places are described. Each entry provides historical context, background on the surrounding area, and directions for getting there.
