Description du lieu patrimonial
The Burnt Head Arch Municipal Heritage Site is the site of a naturally formed rock archway located in the abandoned community of Deep Gulch, near Cupids. The municipal designation encompasses the archway and the area immediately around it.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Burnt Head Arch has been designated because it has environmental value.
The Burnt Head Arch is environmentally valuable as a natural phenomenon. Made of shale and granite the arch is a gap in the coastline geology located on the south side of Cupids. The cliff side is approximately 30.5m high from the ocean, and the arch opening is approximately 9m from the surface of the water. The arch is accessible by boat, and one can go through it to find a small, shallow pool which is enclosed on three sides by vertical rock. The Burnt Head Arch is a popular destination for hikers who walk the Burnt Head Trail. The trail takes hikers through three abandoned communities: Deep Gulch, Noder (North) Cove and Greenland. Remnants of these villages are still visible, and one can hike through them along the North Atlantic coastline. The hiking trail leads to the arch and the vista from the site is panoramic.
