Port Hope - A Rare Jewel

Port Hope, one of Ontario's first British Loyalist towns dating back to the 17th century, abounds with beautiful architecture, great dining and unique attractions. Less than an hour away from Toronto on the 401 East, Port Hope is a delightful, picturesque Fall getaway.

This historic community is nationally acclaimed for its designated heritage conservation downtown district and winner of TV Ontario's competition for the "Best Preserved Main Street in Ontario". With a wealth of beautifully restored early homes and buildings, Port Hope can boast 300 designated buildings, more per capita than anywhere else in Canada!

Whether you want to shop for antiques, fish the Ganaraska, have a pleasant lunch or fine dining, hike, golf, see a show or just tour the area, it's all here for you. Whatever your interests may be, we invite you to come for the day and stay the night.

We are slightly less than an hour east of Toronto on the 401!

Port Hope has many individual proprietors all within walking distance. Some of the finest antiques in central Ontario can be found right here in the heritage district. Browse through an eclectic abundance of collectibles, art deco, fine china, formal and country furniture, porcelain, glass, silver, textiles, artifacts, prints and fine art as well as estate jewellery all displayed in a variety of locations. If you are looking for furniture, there are imports from the Orient and Europe as well as a fine selection of Canadiana.

Port Hope. A rare jewel...truly sublime!
