It is between Ottawa and Toronto on the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor. This city because of its geographical location, has four distinct seasons – all of them mild - so we can safely say that the city has a pleasant climate throughout the year. Some of the famous landmarks in this city include the Bay of Quinte – known for sailing and fishing, Shorelines Casino – a popular gaming spot, Glanmore National Historic Site – an ornate, antique filled mansion of the 1880s and Tyendinaga Caves – a naturally created picnic spot.
