Bonshaw: Disc Golf, Lavender Harvest and Cider

Bonshaw has a clear local focus on disc golf, lavender harvesting and handcrafted cider. These topics appeal to different travel interests: a private disc golf course in rolling hills, a harvest experience and local craft production. If you are considering Bonshaw as a destination, you can decide whether to focus on sports, a specific experience or the production of a local product.

Bonshaw: Disc Golf, Lavender and Cider

Hillcrest Farm Disc Golf Course is a private disc golf course in Bonshaw. It covers 40 acres of land in the area's picturesque rolling hills. The course has hosted local and professional disc golf tournaments. Since the course is private, check directly whether visits are possible.

Island Lavender Distillery offers lavender harvesting. Riverdale Orchard and Cidery produces handcrafted cider. This adds a harvest-related visit and a local producer to the disc golf offering. Bonshaw's three themes are therefore clearly distinct: a sports course, a harvest experience and cider production.

Cultural History and Landscape in the Wider Queens County

Port-la-Joye–Fort Amherst National Historic Site of Canada is recognized for its role from 1720 to 1770 as a seat of government and port of entry for settlers arriving on Prince Edward Island. It adds a perspective on a clearly defined historical period to the region's architectural history.

St. Elizabeth's Anglican Church is a Gothic country church on a rise overlooking farmland. Built of wood in 1848, it was made with timber felled on the property. Its architecture, location and locally sourced building material each connect the church to the landscape in a distinct way.

John Ings Senior House in Pownal, Queens County, Prince Edward Island, dates to around 1830 and is among the community's earliest buildings. It offers a sweeping view of farmland and across Pownal Bay. Compared with the church, the house's date is only approximate; at the same time, the rural setting and relationship with the surroundings shape the impression made by both historic buildings.
