Prince Edward County is a fresh young area with lots to offer. Our cottage is close to a number of Wineries, Harwood Estate Vineyards, Hillier Creek Estates and Stanners Vineyard are all within 5 km. Danforth and Closson Road are also an under 10 km drive and are peppered with wineries as well as Prince Edward County Lavender. Hinterland Winery (the only winery in The County to offer exclusively sparkling wine) located on Closson Road is in the process of opening a new brewery.
The cottage has a rocky shoreline so if you are looking for some sand North Beach Provincial Park is only 10 km away. The Village of Consecon is also 10 km away with Cascades Pub and Grill located in an old mill, LCBO, library, park, and mini golf. 8 km away on the other side of Lake Consecon is Tanglewood Farm and Equestrian centre if you would like to go for a trail ride.
Highway 33 / Loyalist Parkway is around the corner. You can catch the Taste, Arts or Barn Quilt Trail right into the Village of Wellington. This charming town has a variety of art studios as well as some of the best restaurants in Prince Edward County. At The Drake Devonshire Inn you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner while taking in views of Lake Ontario and relaxing in the fun retro atmosphere. East and Main Bistro offer excellent high end fare that cannot be beat. If you are looking for a greasy spoon or pizza check out Maria's or The Duke of Wellington at the east end of town. On Saturday stop in at the farmers market held in the United Church parking lot. I never leave without at least one loaf from Humble Bread. YUM!
You can continue on Highway 33 into the village of Bloomfield for some great shopping and more excellent dining opportunities. Or a few km more into Picton for sites including Sandbanks Provincial Park, Black Creek Cheese Factory, Claramount Spa or County Cider Company.
