Wellington is a long-established community dating back to the days of the Empire Loyalists.  These brave settlers established this flourishing town along the shores of Lake Ontario.

We are less than two hours from Toronto and less than three hours from Ottawa.  A two hour drive has you across the border at the Ivy Lea Bridge.

 Prince Edward County is a delightful and well-kept secret, a hidden island gem seeped in natural beauty, history, and community warmth on the shores of Lake Ontario.  "The County" as it is known to residents, has a lifestyle and vitality of its own.  Entering into County lifestyle is seamless, it happens before you know it has occurred -- you are part of this "Island community"  The many social activities, the festivities and events of the County, the beautiful and untouched rural landscape, all these combine to offer a Quality of Life which becomes a "Way of Life".

The closeness of the Sand Beaches of the Sandbanks Provincial Park, the many Conservation Areas, and the Lakeshores of Wellington give you the opportunity to experience the beauty of Lake Ontario.  To walk along the sand beaches, to hike through the many nature trails, to drive the County roads and sample the wares of the local agricultural community, these are all possibilities.

The Wineries and vineyards are a new addition to the County and you may stop and have a meal and sample the local wines. 

There are many small towns and hamlets, each with a history of its own to tell, from the days of the early settlers and the hardships which they endured to the later days of shipping , the Rumrunners, the "Barley Days", the strong agricultural Community which the County was built upon, to the  present day Artisan Shops, the Boutiques, Spas and Wineries.

To spend only a few hours in the County allows you a taste, to spend a day or two gives you a sampling.  Something always intrigues you and you will return for more.  

So many have came for a visit and stayed for a lifetime.  They discovered the secret of the County.
