The Town of Erin is a picturesque rural community located in southern Wellington County just north of the GTA. Erin offers rolling countryside, meandering rivers, small settlement areas and quaint village settings.

The main urban centres in this town are Erin and Hillsburgh. They are surrounded by the six hamlets of Ballinafad, Brisbane, Cedar Valley, Crewson's Corners, Orton and Ospringe.

The Town of Erin is part of the HILLS OF HEADWATERS tourism region. Step outside Toronto's back door to the headwaters of four southern Ontario watersheds, the hills of the Niagara Escarpment and the heartland of small-town Ontario.

Erin is home to many unique family-owned and local businesses. Visit the shops and restaurants on picturesque Main Street, drive along scenic country roads, play a round of golf, visit the quaint "Historic Park" in Hillsburgh or enjoy the beautiful Elora Cataract Trailway.

Erin offers lots to see and do year-round. You won't want to miss the Summer Celebration and the Spirit of the Hills festivals. Take in the beautiful fall colours and experience an authentic Fall Fair. In the winter the trees and windows of the shops come alive with lights and festive decorations.
