BLOOMFIELD

Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada

Bloomfield is a great place to bring up a family. It is located between Route 1 and Route 121 between the town of Sussex and the town of Hampton in the southern part of Canada's Picture Province of New Brunswick.

It is a rural community with dairy farms and woodlands all around. The Kennebecasis River flows through the middle of the community. The river is really not very deep right here, but it is good for small boats. Larger pleasure boats can come up the river from the city of Saint John as far as Hampton which is about six miles to the West.

This is another picture of Bloomfield looking in the opposite direction to the one above.

You can see the green steel bridge which spans the Kennebecasis River and the covered bridge farther along the Station Road.

The distance hillside used to be a ski hill.

The covered bridge that spans the Bloomfield Creek on the Station Road was built in 1917 and is 45 metres long. Kings County boasts seventeen covered bridges—more covered bridges than any other county in Atlantic Canada!
