No Experience Required

Prince Edward Island, Canada’s smallest province, offers more than just striking red cliffs and rolling farmland—it is the real-world setting that inspired the beloved Anne of Green Gables stories. The Land of Anne bicycle tour unlocks this storybook landscape through an immersive 6-hour ride tailored for riders aged eight and up. Setting off from New Glasgow, a charming town on PEI’s North Shore, the tour pedals you through PEI National Park, a place where vibrant red sandstone cliffs meet pristine sandy beaches, all framed by lush forests and coastal marshes. Here, the air carries a salty tang from the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the scent of wildflowers in bloom.

This ride is not just about stunning nature but also about stepping into literary history. The highlight, Green Gables Heritage Place, is a preserved farmhouse and estate immortalized by LM Montgomery’s novels. Cycling this route lets you experience the same vistas that sparked Anne Shirley’s adventures, from the haunting beauty of Haunted Woods to the rolling fields where Anne’s spirited imagination roamed free.

The tour accommodates various skill levels by offering customizable cycling distances, making it accessible for families and casual riders as well as more experienced cyclists. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a picnic lunch that celebrates local flavors—fresh bread, cheeses, and seasonal produce—perfect for fueling your journey. The guide combines natural history, local lore, and literary insights, enriching your understanding of the region’s cultural fabric.

What sets The Land of Anne apart is its thoughtful blending of outdoor activity with storytelling and heritage. Unlike many cycling tours, it taps into the genuine spirit of Prince Edward Island, offering a tangible connection to place and story. It also operates within PEI National Park, one of Canada’s iconic national parks, protecting some of the island’s most striking ecosystems and providing safe, well-maintained trails that wind through diverse habitats.

For those staying in or visiting Prince Edward Island, New Glasgow is a convenient base with easy access to the tour meeting point. Whether you’re an Anne fan, a cyclist craving scenic coastal routes, or a traveler seeking layered outdoor experiences, this tour provides a memorable journey through a uniquely Canadian landscape rich in culture, nature, and history.
