We tackled a short stretch north of the trail north of Charlottetown through farms, fields and tree-lined paths — the flat gradient stopped the cycling being too tough and a slow pace meant we could soak up the scenery.

Around miles of coastline circles the island, from stretches of golden sand to rocky coves with red sandstone cliffs. Ocean currents around the island mean the seas are as warm as the waters off the Carolinas in the US, miles to the south — still not quite warm enough to tempt me in for a dip though. And where you have coastline, you have lighthouses — and these iconic white buildings are one of the most recognisable symbols of Maritime Canada.

But many of the lighthouses are still in use, and you can even go and stay in the West Point lighthouse. You can climb up the 67 stairs to the top and look out along the coastline where the savage tides of the St Lawrence and Northumberland Strait meet. The world-class food and drink is one of the biggest reasons to visit Prince Edward Island, so it was only right that I ate and drank my way around as much of it as possible. The island has a long fishing and farming heritage, and a new breed of innovative chefs are being drawn to the island, or trained up at the Culinary Institute of Canada in Charlottetown, all keen to take advantage of the fantastic produce grown here.

A string of pretty fishing villages line the coast here, their tiny harbours lined with boats and piled up high with lobster traps. Before then farmers would just spread them on the fields as fertiliser. Now lobster fishing is big business. The industry is heavily regulated to make sure it stays sustainable, and there are two fishing seasons each year — one from May until June and the other from August to October. I saw lobster on the menu in restaurants all over the island in every different form you can think of, but the simplest way to try it is in a lobster roll. Served with a dash of raspberry vinegar and a shaving of horseradish, it was tastier than I expected but I still need a bit more practice!

Or if you fancy trying something different, how about the surprisingly tasty chocolate-covered potato crisps or maple syrup wine? The whole island is full of great and sometimes unusual food producers, from tasty jams and chutneys at the PEI Preserve Company and creamy Cows ice cream to craft breweries and wineries. The building is closed for renovation for the next few years, but you can still see a replica of the historic Confederation Chamber where 23 of the Fathers of Confederation bizarrely two of which were both called John Hamilton Gray met in the Confederation Centre of the Arts next door to Province House.

The Confederation Centre of the Arts opened on the th anniversary of Confederation and stretches across a whole block of the city, with an art gallery and five theatres. I took a tour with marketing officer Carol and learnt about the huge range of performances and exhibitions at the centre. But the biggest draw — here and across the world — is Anne of Green Gables. The artistic feel spreads across the island, which seems to draw in sculptors, painters and craftspeople who make everything from jewellery to ceramics.

But that was ok.

From there I caught a connecting flight on to Charlottetown. You can also get to the island via the nine-mile-long Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick or on a minute ferry from Nova Scotia.

The easiest way to explore the island is by car, and there are lots of car hire options.

Read more Thanks Nim, I really enjoyed reliving all the great things I did out there — such a lovely island! It looks and sounds lovely there on Prince Edward Island. Looks like you enjoyed the seafood from your photos.

I definitely ate more seafood in PEI than I have in years! Not entirely convinced by the oysters yet but I think I might need to give them a couple more goes. A wonderful article Lucy and with some amazing photos too, especially of the lighthouses, which I love!

Lovely overview of PEI Lucy, great to be reminded how friendly it is there, love the photographs, especially the lighthouses and of course those oysters! Love a smart lighthouse! Canada is always beautiful, I have been there once but was on the conference in Toronto, but next time when I land on this beautiful place I surely visit this.. Thanks, Toronto is a great city too but I did really enjoy getting out and exploring some of the smaller places, such a friendly feel!

No the food seems to have come a long way since then! It is stunning, lovely to read more about it. We wanted to visit a couple of years ago but sadly the flights are prohibitively expensive, but at least that keeps the place unspoilt! PEI sounds like my kind of place — I love to be near the ocean and staying in a lighthouse would be a dream!

The fresh fish must be so tasty and maple wine sounds interesting…. Maple wine was really interesting! Quite sweet like a maple dessert wine almost.
