Visit The County

The Creative Countryside Route 🎨🍷

One scenic drive out to the countryside, and then everything you want is right within reach. Think lush sculpture gardens, working artist studios, rural galleries, and vineyard stops, all just minutes apart.

It’s a slower, more intentional way to experience The County, where the landscape is just as captivating as the art itself. Roll the windows down, set your own pace, and stay awhile. The Arts Trail is the perfect self-guided experience you can take year-round, and it's waiting for you 💛

Every forest, field, tree and trail you love is shaped by water 🌊

The County is an ecologically significant area that’s been millions of years in the making. Bundle up and get out this fall to embrace it at one of the many public parks and wildlife areas maintained by Sandbanks Provincial Park Quinte Conservation Environment Canada and County of Prince Edward 🍂

You can dive deep on the unique flora, fauna and fungi that call PEC home from our friends doing important nature advocacy work at South Shore Joint Initiative Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory pecfieldnaturalists Friends of Sandbanks 🌿 

You can also pick up a copy of Wind, Water, Barley and W**e at Books & Company 📚

Proof that the best things in life are often found off the beaten path 💛

Or in our case, they’re often found parked on the side of the road next to a painted piece of plywood. Unattended honour-system tables, handwritten wooden signs, and paying it forward for local eggs, wood, fresh-cut flowers & harvest magic✨🌾
