Welcome to the Apple Route!Whether you are an outdoor adventurer, a history buff, an artist or just on a weekend escape you will find here the excitement of a vacation destination that can satisfy all of your needs.

only an hour east of toronto by car, the apple route offers a vibrant range of activities.

Highway 401 signs will direct you to the Heritage route along old Highway 2, the core of the apple route, and “spurs” take the traveler to scenic Presqu’ile Park near brighton, historical lakeport, through Carrying Place and connects with the loyalist Parkway. numerous craft stores and roadside markets carry apple-theme items. this southern area of northumberland County, pressed between the great Pine ridge and lake ontario has, for 200 years, enjoyed a rich agricultural history that brought both prosperity and continuity.

nestled in the rolling hills of eastern ontario’s “Apple Country”, the apple route meanders through pleasant orchards and friendly towns & villages between Port Hope and trenton.

the scenic countryside, pleasant orchards and friendly communities along the apple route are a haven for visitors with an appetite for the simple pleasures of a slower pace of life governed by the land, the water and the seasons. from several harbours you can sample trophy fishing on lake ontario. Museums and galleries flourish in all the communities along the route and more than sixty antique stores cater to tastes from the primitive to the formal. beaches, public parks, wildlife sanctuaries and public footpaths all provide access to some of the prettiest landscapes in southern ontario. Presqu’ile Provinical Park is an enormous resource for campers and birders. all along the route you’ll be delighted by the range and sophistication of dining and accommodation facilities. spas, bed and breakfasts, country inns, hotels and motels abound; each provides helpful advice and suggestions for making the most of your visit.

Victoria Hallarchitecture in Cobourg, ontarioVictoria Hall embodies the 19th century ambition of Cobourg. built to compete with the st. lawrence Market in toronto, city promoters hoped their edifice would lure government to the town. now immaculately restored the town hall provides space for arts, culture and entertainment along with civic government.

Harbour Gatewaythe harbour, just a step south of Victoria Hall, is a modern yachting facility that keeps alive the trading traditions of the city. Cobourg was often the entry point for settlers heading north into the “back Country” and even today you may be lucky to see a tall ship gracing the docks reminding us of the past.

Graceful Architectureoriginally settled by united empire loyalists, Cobourg blossomed as the holiday home of a number of wealthy americans. Daily ferry service to rochester, new York, allowed steel magnates from Pittsburgh to enjoy the healthful air. town mansions from the gilded age are spotted throughout the town and many look out over the central park as if waiting for gatsby to return.

Enjoy the Sights and SoundsCobourg’s beach is justly famous as are shops, accommodations, award-winning restaurants and exceptional theatre productions. the farmers’ Market is well worth a visit but many find the simple pleasure of strolling the tree-lined streets reason enough to return here year after year.

Golden DeliciousYellow in colour. sweet tasting. not related to the red Delicious variety of apples even though the names suggest it. Compared to red Delicious, this apple is sweeter, has a juicy texture, is rounder and the skin is thinner. baking this apple brings out its unique flavour.

Granny Smithgreen in colour. Mild flavoured with a nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Can be stored for as long as half a year. great for baking, sauces and snacking.

Red DeliciousDeep red in color. taller and thinner in contrast to other round varieties. this apple is the most popular for snacking with its sweet, tart taste. the strong flavour is found in the thick and somewhat bitter skin. although a great snacking apple, it is not the best apple for baking.

McIntoshred in colour, sweet, juicy and tart tasting. “Macs” were developed in 1811 by an ontario farmer by the name of John Mcintosh. they are one of the most popular and top selling varieties of apples in north america. Varieties such as empire, Cortland and spartan are produced by crossing Mcintoshes with other varieties. great for snacking, pies, sauce and salads.

Types of apples


In 1784, a treaty with the Mississauga indians ceded a large tract of land along the north shore of lake ontario to the british Crown. a number of villages sprang up along the shoreline, one of which was to become the village of grafton. originally called Haldimand Corners, the village was located at the junction of Danforth road, (1800), the road leading southward towards grafton Harbour, and the surveyed baseline road from trenton (1790).

Heritage Honoured in Graftongrafton shopsgrafton probably has more buildings of historic and architectural significance per capita than any town in ontario. antique stores abound and just to the west of the town is barnum House. built in 1819, this remarkable neoclassical house is now operated as a museum with a variety of displays and activities that bring the area’s early history to life.

Be sure to drop in for teaone of the earliest inns in the area was glover’s inn, now the grafton Village inn. this property was later sold to edward Pepper, and renamed Pepper’s tavern. it was at a meeting of citizens at the inn in the early 1800’s that the decision was made to rename the village grafton.

Stretch Your Legssouth of grafton, the nawautin nature sanctuary and public park allow visitors to enjoy the view over lake ontario. take a break from driving by stretching your legs along the Waterfront trail.

People visit the area to fish Presqu’ile bay for trophy walleye and pike or alternatively, head out into lake ontario for championship salmon and trout fishing. boaters can enjoy shallow and deep water boating.

Visit Proctor House Museum, said to be haunted by the nix ghost, and see the ‘widows walk’ with views of the bay, or visit Memory Junction with its railway memorabilia.

stroll along the streets and be delighted by the many architectural gems. savour the delights at some of the area’s best eating spots. stop off at gosport and pick up some freshly caught fish at the fisheries. Come to the saturday farmers’ market and enjoy the fresh produce, listen to music, stroll through arts & crafts displays or visit the many antique and craft stores that are sure to delight you with their unusual items.
