Guide to Belleville
Geography
Belleville is situated in Canada’s Ontario province, looking out at the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario. It is widely considered the heart of the Quinte region.
Climate in Belleville
Belleville experiences a humid continental climate, but this is greatly moderated by the breezes that float in from over Lake Ontario. Summer lasts from June to August, and winter from December to February. The most pleasant time of year is spring.
Culture
What is now Belleville was once purchased from native American tribes by the Canadian government, which sought to house defeated Loyalists from the Thirteen Colonies. Today, Belleville is a thriving little city with a mild demeanor.
Things to do in Belleville
Tour a Victorian mansion
At its core, the Glanmore National Historic Site consists of a mansion built in 1883, during the time of the Second French Empire. Once owned by J.P.C Phillips and his wife Harriet, this building is now a museum that offers a rare glimpse into Victorian opulence in Canada. Spend a few hours exploring its different rooms and grounds. If you’re feeling gutsy, walk around here at night! The mansion was once said to be haunted by Harriet’s restless spirit.
Explore Ontario’s largest cavern
Some parts of the Tyendinaga Caves are so narrow that you’ll have to squeeze through in total darkness, but most of the cave complex has been fitted with stairs and curated by owners Charles and Liz Koch. Kids will love the fossils on display here, some of which are 450 million years old. As you stroll through the cavern, you may want to hire a tour guide to fill you in on the local stories.
Eating out in Belleville
To begin with, unleash the foodie within at L’auberge de France- there’s no better place to enjoy authentic Parisian pastries with dripping chocolate and gobsmacking tarts. For a taste of something more eastern, head to Toro Sushi Restaurant, whose dumplings and noodles are just as good as the sushi. The Boathouse Seafood Restaurant and Waterfront Patio makes excellent lobster, shrimp, and crab dishes, which are best eaten with the house pasta. If you’re a bit of a history buff, try Burger Revolution, where you can try zany-named options like the Che Guevara, Rebel, and Napoleon burgers.
