Stratford is a town of 28,000 people vastly
 increased in population in the summer by the tremendous influx of tourists. Visitors come from all over the continent and from abroad to see the Festival Theatre, the Avon Theatre and the Tom Patterson Theatre. Stratford has a beautiful park with its resident swans on the Avon River. A quality Art in the Park takes place every Wed. Sat. and Sun. There are many backstage tours of the theatre which gives one a rare insight into how a great theatre really works.

MAP to Valley View

St. Marys is a town of 5000 people. Built on solid limestone it is known as the Stonetown. It boasts some of the finest homes and churches that the famed Scottish stonemasons could build. A lone Scottish piper still plays beside the town's wide falls for an hour on Friday in the cool of a summer's evening. The  homes and buildings are far more elaborate than one would assume for a town its size, well worth a leisurely tour.  St. Marys has some good quality restaurants, shops and a museum. It also boasts the home of the "Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame".

There is a winter tube slide just five minutes away at the "River Valley Golf & Country Club".
   Cross country ski on groomed trails at "Wildwood Conservation Area"

One of the old quarries has become Ontario's largest supervised swimming pool. Spring fed, "The Quarry" is 
a popular spot in the heat of summer.
 

On the way to St. Marys you can often see the Great Blue Herons fishing in the Thames river.

London is a town of 350,000 people. Dubbed the "Forest City" for its abundance of trees it has excellent shopping facilities. stage, movie and Imax theatres, a racecourse, and many other forms of entertainment. "Fanshawe Pioneer Village" gives a glimpse into London's past with its costumed interpreters.

BEACHES:-Lake Huron is only 40 minutes away and is known for its lovely sandy beaches. Lake Huron of course is more like a huge inland freshwater sea.

GOLF:  Anyone staying for a while might like to indulge their  obsession and hit the greens.....

We have one golf course within five minutes of our B&B and another 10 minutes away in St.Marys.

London has 11 golf courses! Stratford has 2 (one requires a 3 day advance booking)
