Did you know there is a castle deep in the woods of Nova Scotia? We didn't until recently! You'll definitely need a high clearance vehicle or ATV (or snowmobile!) to get there, but it is an interesting place to see.

Ed Kent, a man from Idaho, built this structure by hand on family land in the woods of Nova Scotia. He made the journey in the summer of each year and stayed until the weather turned poor. He was in his 60s when he started the project in 1999 and continued each year with documentation until about 2008. We read that Ed has since passed away, although there may be some relatives still around. It is likely the castle still sits on private property, and we had read that one of Ed's concerns with the isolated location was the threat of vandals. The castle is beginning to look a little rough, likely due to age and no one up keeping it, but there is evidence of some vandalism as well. If you do visit the castle, or any other place like this, please be respectful. Do not vandalize and please pack out your trash. If you can, consider picking up others' trash as well. Remember, this was someones dream and years of hard work.
