From the Halifax World / Places

Point Pleasant Park

Woodland paths, coastal views and old defences share the southern tip of the peninsula. Point Pleasant Park gives a city outing a quieter, more open-air focus.

Why go

The park combines a forest walk with a view of Halifax’s former harbour defences. Prince of Wales Tower and the battery remains interrupt the trees, while shoreline paths open towards the harbour and Atlantic. That mixture makes it rewarding for walkers who want historical detail along the way rather than a museum visit.

What to look for

Prince of Wales Tower stands among the park’s trees.
Battery remains reveal successive layers of harbour defence.
Coastal paths open towards the harbour and Atlantic.

Useful to know

Combine wooded paths with the shoreline to experience both sides of the park.
