Discover Cymbria: History, Mini Golf and Golf

Cymbria combines Acadian heritage with a range of recreational attractions: Maison Doucet, a nature trail, nostalgic mini golf and golf. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing these highlights: history, designed recreation and an 18-hole golf course appeal to different interests.

Maison Doucet and Acadian History

Maison Doucet was originally located at Pointe-à-Grand-Père in Cymbria. In 1999, the house was moved to a neighboring site. In the early days of Acadian settlement, it occasionally served as a place of worship when there was no church or other suitable building. The connection between the house’s original location and its use at the time makes its history a tangible window into early Acadian settlement.

Nature Trail and Mini Golf

Cymbria Campground has its own nature trail. Drive-U-Krazy Mini Golf offers a very different experience: the nostalgic mini golf course in Cymbria on Prince Edward Island has 18 holes and a par of 49. A windmill, a castle, a waterwheel and bridges are part of its design. The course offers entertainment for the whole family. The nature trail and mini golf therefore cater to different recreational interests: one is a trail at the campground, while the other is a themed mini golf course.

Golf Courses and Scenery

Rustico Resort Golf has an 18-hole golf course. From every hole, golfers can see Rustico Bay and lush gardens. Unlike Drive-U-Krazy’s nostalgic mini golf, the focus here is on the golf course and its views of the bay and gardens. Rustico Resort Golf & Domes spans an expansive parkland landscape where bald eagles, ospreys and great blue herons can be found. The landscapes offer different highlights: at Rustico Resort Golf, the bay and gardens; at Rustico Resort Golf & Domes, the parkland and the bird species found there.

More Historical Perspectives in Queens County

The wider destination of Queens County offers other historical points of interest. Port-la-Joye–Fort Amherst National Historic Site of Canada is recognized for its role from 1720 to 1770 as a seat of government and port of entry for settlers arriving on Prince Edward Island. St. Elizabeth's Anglican Church offers a different historical perspective: this rural Gothic church stands on a rise overlooking farmland and was built in 1848 from timber felled on the property.

John Ings Senior House is also in Queens County, in the community of Pownal. Dating to around 1830, it is among the community’s earliest buildings. Wide views across farmland and a view over Pownal Bay define the house’s connection to the landscape. Together, these examples show the different historical points of interest in Queens County: from the role of a seat of government and port of entry to a rural church and an early building in Pownal.
