5 Reasons You Should Move to Newcastle
So, you’re looking for a new place to settle down that’s more affordable, has access to nature, and is full of restaurants and family activities. If you haven’t already considered Newcastle, then we’ll show you why it’s a great option for your next move.
1. It’s a 10 Minute Drive from the Water
One of the best aspects of Newcastle is how close it is to the water. Lake Ontario is just a 10 minute drive away, with beaches like Bond Head Parkette and Pebble Beach. You can also get a view of the lake from the Bond Head Viewpoint or walk along the waterfront trail.
2. It’s the Gateway to the Kawarthas
At the foot of the Kawarthas, Newcastle is surrounded by abundant natural beauty. The Orono Crown Lands are just a 10 minute drive away and have 15 km of trails that run through 633 acres of protected land. The Ganaraska Forest is a 20 minute drive away and is a great place for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and much more.
3. There are Great Restaurant Options
Bars like Walsh’s Snug and The Old Newcastle House Taps & Grill are great local spots to grab a drink. Newcastle Griddle serves a delicious array of omelettes and crepes. For more comfort food, you can check out Rosalina’s Pizza or Captain George’s Fish & Chips.
4. Fun Family Activities
Take the kids to Jungle Cat World, where you can join a guided feeding tour. For more adventurous activities, try Newcastle Outback Paintball or climb the ropes course at Ganaraska Treetop Trekking. In the summer, Cedar Park Resort has an outdoor pool and water park, while the newly opened Diane Hamre Recreation Complex has pools, sports fields, and a skate park.
5. Great for Couples
Newcastle also has great options for time away with your spouse. The Archibald Orchards & Estate Winery is a great spot to enjoy a complimentary tasting. Afterwards go for a show at the Capitol Theatre or stroll through Cobourg’s Art Gallery of Northumberland.
