The Town of the Blue Mountains is an amalgamation which includes almost 20 different towns, villages and rural hamlets, each with their own distinct personality, community and vibe.  On the shoreline of Georgian Bay, nestled between the mouth of the Beaver River and the base to the Niagara Escarpment you’ll find the cute village of Thornbury, Ontario.  Rocking serious “Main Street” vibes, you’ll think you’ve landed in a Hallmark made-for-TV movie.  Thornbury’s downtown boasts independent shops and cafes where you’re likely to be greeted warmly by the owner and given a true one-of-a-kind experience!   Thornbury residents and visitors alike take advantage of the area’s four season lifestyle.  In the summer, enjoy waterfront parks, beaches, the Thornbury Yacht Club and Marina, and jumping off the Thornbury Pier (a local tradition!).  In the winter, ski and snowboard at Blue Mountain Ski Resort or the many private ski clubs, cross-country ski at Scenic Caves Nature Adventures or skate the 1.1 km loop at Woodview Mountaintop Skating at Blue Mountain Resort.  Championship golf is a short drive away at Lora Bay Golf Club and the Georgian Bay Club.  And what’s the point of all that activity if not to work up an appetite?  Thornbury’s restaurants and cafes are not to be missed, providing dining experiences that could rival any larger metropolis, in my humble opinion!
