Englee may be at the end of Route 433; however, it should not be on the end of your travel list. This quaint little Town is another destination on the Northern Peninsula East surrounded by group of mountains, rugged shoreline and islands off in the distance.
On June 19, 2011, I spent time at Englee with a friend from Salmon Arm, British Columbia. It was evident that he enjoyed seeing the vernacular architecture, which included several churches, salt-box homes and Barnes House (Englee’s Heritage House). We took the trail that would lead us to magnificent views of Bar’d Island. After 164 stairs we reached the top, getting a magnificent viewpoint of the Town, islands and sea depending on where you venture. Even the modest hiker can reach the top, as there are several rest places, landings, benches and picnic tables along the way.

Vantage Viewpoint:
The Town has ensured there are picnic tables for the traveler wishing to have a snack – watch whales, icebergs and birds while hearing the waves crash. They even have a swing for you to unwind and take in the natural beauty. The forested throughout the trail is serene. One feels in tune with nature and your surroundings. A walk along this trail is good for the body, mind and soul.
The people of Englee have faced numerous hardships throughout time, especially with the closure of the fish plant that left many unemployed. Despite these challenges, the people of Englee are generous, warm and kind. The hospitality one receives when walking through this Town is authentic rural outport Newfoundland.
2011 marks Come Home Year for the Town of Englee and spirits are at peak. More than 1100 people are members of their Facebook group. An active committee, coordinator and volunteers are working tirelessly to put together a week on will never forget. The group has a great looking schedule, as well they have a number of items for sale, including key chains, post cards, hooked rugs, knitted items and traditional Newfoundland quilts. There are some big-ticket items, including a 12ft boat donated by local Allistar and Come Home Year Quilts. Hundreds are eager to pour into this Town at the end of Route 433! If you can participate or lend a hand email engleechy2011@yahoo.ca.
Englee will be a great place to discover, especially during Come Home Year, August 14-21, 2011
