Here Are Some Things You Can do Along the Trail
Book a tour and tea at the Leaskdale Manse. Plan a detour to find some artistic treasures at Greenmantle Pottery and the Concession 6 Studio. Next, make an appointment or drop-in to the Uxbridge Historical Centre where you can tour buildings and learn about her family. As you know, Maud (and Anne) had a taste for the Raspberry Cordial, and you too can satisfy your thirst at Banjo Cider or The Second Wedge Brewing Co.. There, enjoy a specially crafted raspberry cider or ‘High Razz’ beer.
Head to The Bridge Social to enjoy a glass of organic raspberry cordial. Take your time in downtown Uxbridge where our beloved Blue Heron Books has a host of activities for the kids. Write a letter to your kindred spirit on custom Anne stationery, try a game of hopscotch, and snap a selfie. Furthermore, pick up an Anne of Green Gables cookbook signed by Lucy Maud Montgomery’s granddaughter and take home a free craft kit. Be sure to take time for a break along the Beer & Cider Trail. Take the chance to re-fuel at one of our local eateries along the Culinary Trail.
