Shakespeare Country in Ontario has a naming convention that's so English that even Canadians scratch their heads. For example, London has the Thames River running through it while Stratford, an hour's drive away, has the Avon River. London Ontario is noted for its museums, parks and universities. Stratford Ontario has the Stratford Festival where actors from Christopher Plummer to William Shatner have taken the stage.
Also in Shakespeare Country is Long Point Provincial Park, part of a 40 km (24.8 mi.) sandspit in Lake Erie, recognized as a biosphere reserve by the United Nations. It is an important stopover for migrating birds in fall and spring with waterfowl viewing at its best in March.
St. Thomas is home to an unusual story. It is the site of the demise, by train, of Jumbo the Elephant, who was part of Barnum & Bailey's Circus in 1885 when he died.
Shakespeare Country's Ontario accommodations include hotels, motels, resorts, bed and breakfasts and campgrounds.
