Just two kilometres down the road from L'Anse aux Meadows is Norstead, a recreated Viking port of trade. Here you can challenge yourself with a traditional Norse game, learn to throw an axe, spin yarn, or take a pottery lesson. You can also step aboard Snorri, a replica of the Viking ship that retraced Erickson's course from Greenland to the Meadows.
Main Brook, on the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, is essentially a fishing and felling community of less than 300 residents. This idyllic location, on the southwest shore of Hare Bay, can be reached at the northern tip of the infamous Viking Trail. Over the centuries, the village has experienced French and English colonies which have influenced the charming character it portrays today.
