Northumberland County
Located
along Lake Ontario just an hour east of Toronto, Northumberland County
takes in some of the prettiest real estate in Canada .... People flock
to the area for the beautiful beaches in Cobourg and Brighton, or
keel boat sailing in Cobourg and Port Hope or the protected cruising
of Brighton Bay. A real summer paradise, outdoor activities range
from water sports to a glass of wine on a patio overlooking the bay
.... from walking the quiet town streets to trail riding (horses or
bikes or ATV). With a pleasant blend of town and country living opportunities
you'll love the variety. For many, the rolling hills in the eastern
part of the county around Centerton, Castleton Haldimand Alnwick are
a reminder of Europe and a very warming place. It's here that you'll
find Shelter Valley ~ the arts community in the area is world renowned,
and of the Shelter Valley Folk Festival has been growing in a grass
roots kind of way for 3 years ~ always room for more local involvement.
One of the first places settled in the new world, the fertile ground
has provided fresh produce for generations, you can still enjoy the
markets of Port Hope, Cobourg, Colborne.... or pick your own fruit
in Brighton . You'll love it here ... Come Down and see how nice it
can be.
