    Although a long drive to get here the visit was well worth it. A beautiful recreation of the time of the Vikings. Make sure that you take in the short film and have a guided tour of the grounds. The staff members are very friendy and informative

    There are two Viking sites at L'Anse aux Meadows. Norstead is a privately run site which portrays a reconstruction of a Viking Village.
    The other Viking site nearby is an UNESCO and National Heritage site, which is run by Parks Canada.
    L'Anse aux Meadows is believed to be the only North American site which was settled by Vikings. Norstead has numerous reconstructed Viking buildings. It also has a beautiful example of a Viking Ship.
    If you are visiting L'Anse aux Meadows it is worthwhile going to both the Viking sites - there is not much else here! Very remote and isolated.

    Once were we finished going through the village, we did the Viking trail... Beautiful scenery. Makes you appreciate how the Viking survived in this rugged climate. You can climb up to that statue and take you pic with the Vikings lol

    We arrived in L'Anse aux Meadows on a tender boat from a cruise ship anchored off shore. This monument was right next to the wharf where the tender put us ashore. Nicely done monument. A good photo stop.

    A perfect way to stretch the kinks out while exploring lovely scnery and vistas. An easy trail with rest stops along the way. Take your time and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

    This store I felt had a nice selection of high quality items. Clothing, jewelry, pictures, books, calendars. Don't forget to get your stamp for the puffin stuffie promotion. Recommended after your viewing of the museum.
