Neighbourhoods
Apsley is a great and convenient town with all the amenities that you could need (groceries, pharmacy, Home Hardware and LCBO) and only 13 minutes from our cottage!
2020 Update: The local Sayers had a horrible fire and is closed until at least late 2021. Coe Hill, Bancroft or Lakefield are good alternatives.
