Download your copy of the Nanaimo Relocation Guide: https://www.bachrealestate.ca/moving-... Cedar, Cedar by the Sea and Yellow Point, toured for rural living, parks, pubs and larger lots close to Nanaimo. Kiel and Travis spend the day in Cedar, starting with its small-town feel and the Cedar Farmers Market, then Hemer Provincial Park, the sandstone shoreline at Duke Point and the coal mining history at Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park. They stop at the Wheatsheaf Pub, with its stagecoach history and the ball diamonds across the road, look at the grocery store, hardware store and restaurants in Cedar Village, and warm up by the fireplace at the Crow and Gate. The Cable Bay Trail, an off-leash route down to the ocean with views of Dodd Narrows, and the swimming holes on the Nanaimo River follow. The last part covers larger lots for hobby farms and horses, septic outside the village, and Cedar by the Sea and Yellow Point.
