Elora Travel Guide

Welcome to Elora!

Heading 20 km (12.4 mi) northwest of Guelph on Highway 7, visitors will find themselves in picturesque Elora, Ontario, an area known for having unique 1800s-style architecture and a welcoming, creative community. Elora's most well-known attraction is the Elora Gorge, where limestone cliffs tower over the bank of the Grand River, forming a natural recreation area that is widely used by residents and tourists alike for camping, hiking, kayaking and tubing. Nearby is the Elora Quarry Conservation Area, a former limestone quarry that is now a popular swimming spot. The Elora Mill has the distinction of being Canada's only standing five-story mill, though the building is used as an upmarket hotel and restaurant these days. The mill and nearby shops overlook the natural spectacle of the Tooth of Time Waterfall. This artistic town's signature event happens in the summer, when the Elora Festival sees a number of musical performances at various venues throughout Elora.
