The gallery is worth pairing with a walk along the Baddeck waterfront boardwalk and the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, which sits a few minutes up the hill. Because the building is on the main corner of town, it is an easy stop on the way to or from the Cabot Trail, and the staff can point you toward other working studios in the area.
