Shorts: 5. Fogo Island Inn



Giles and Monica experience the warm embrace of Fogo Island Inn, on a rocky, sea-sprayed outpost of remote Fogo Island in Newfoundland. White, angular and perched atop zig-zagged stilts like the local fishermen’s houses, it pays homage to the European settlers that arrived from Ireland and Devon to fish cod - most islanders still have Irish or West Country accents. For years, cod was the primary source of income but overfishing saw stocks plummet, and a cod-fishing moratorium was put in place in the Nineties. The island’s population subsequently shrank, as families moved away in search of other work.
