‘The Little Town With a Lot to Offer' The rural Town of Berwick welcomes you into the 'core' of
Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. Our community is located between the slopes of two glacial
ridges, locally known as the North and South Mountains. Historically, Berwick has been a pivot
in the province’s apple industry. Indeed, the Town is known as Nova Scotia’s Apple Capital.
