Our Favourite Things to Do in Elora (& A Few Other Tips!)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to explore one of Ontario\u2019s most beautiful towns? Well, Elora fits the bill pretty well! Founded back in 1832, the town of Elora is perhaps most famous for the nearby Elora Gorge and the early limestone architecture (similar to Kingston<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elora is located in Wellington County (specifically Centre Wellington close to Fergus and Guelph<\/a>) which makes it a great day trip from Toronto<\/a>. With lots of historic points of interest to explore, food to try, and activities to do, it\u2019s no surprise that it\u2019s a great place to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took a trip to Elora in the fall and it was a great few days. We wanted to enjoy the autumn colors, relax a little, but also do some hiking – and we accomplished exactly those things. During our time there, we stayed at Elora Mill Hotel & Spa<\/a> and it was a great experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through what to do in Elora – including things to do but also places to eat, hike, shop, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n
