One of the best parts about Ontario is its variety of communities, towns, and the eclectic mix of cities and rural landscapes. And if you’re looking for a little getaway, parts of Ontario can provide just that. Our province is home to a spa region, and that’s Northumberland County, which has several health and wellness retreats. And in Grafton, you will find a beautiful 1800’s heritage fieldstone country castle that is home to Ste. Anne’s Spa.
According to Northumberland County, Grafton is located in the south, very near Lake Ontario, about 130 km east of Toronto and west of Kingston.
The region has wonderful views of Lake Ontario, and you can definitely expect some lakeshore breezes. It has hiking trails, and you can even take a self-guided walking tour featuring 22 of Grafton’s unique buildings.
And tucked along a quiet country road, you will find Ste. Anne’s Spa, one of Canada’s “top destination spas” of 2022.
