Experience a Walking or Hiking holiday in the
outstanding beauty of Southern Ontario.
Your Hiking holiday can include sections of the Elgin Hiking Trail, or walks through some of our local Conservation Areas where you can experience the abundant wildlife in some of the last remaining
Carolinian Forest in Ontario.
There are many walks from which to choose, ranging from short, easy terrain walks that take an hour or so, to longer, more challenging walks for the experienced hikers among you!
If you choose to take the Self-Guided Walks from the several for which there are maps available, you may like to take a packed lunch while you spend the day in the lovely Ontario countryside.
Create the Hiking Holiday of your dreams - Hike every day if you like, or perhaps take a gentle Walk every other day, the choice is yours!
There are many attractions, places of interest and quaint villages in the area, and you will find Craft Shops and Tea-rooms & Restaurants.
Below are some of the Walks and Hikes in the St Thomas area, however, there are many more within a 30 minute drive of our self-catering holiday home.
These areas of Natural beauty are great places to visit
