    We just love Mount Dora - great for wandering around and stopping off for a drink. Just go onto Mapquest with your address and they will give you a step by step guide - all free - even better.

    Have a great time to all those who plan to visit.

    when we went in October, Mount Dora had a craft festival on, there were stalls everywhere and the town was heaving, seems to be a major event, mostly seemed to be locals as well, didnt notice too many Brits wandering around.
    Well worth the visit if you get the chance.

    There is also a train which runs a couple of times a week which is worth doing. Hubby rode with the guard and he was telling him that there had been no maintenance on the track for about 50 years[msnscared][msneek] good ride through, had a running comentary from the guard which was quite funny.

    We went September last year, had a fab lunch...far too much (very good) wine and a stroll round the quaint shops. Bought some Christmas tree decorations and had a wonderful day. We just went up H27 as we are over that way

    We visited in April, it was only an hour's drive from the US27. A beautiful quaint town, they call it 'the New England of Florida'.We ate lunch at Pisces Rising which serves the most succulent fish dishes. This is the little train that takes you around Lake Dora - which is in the distance. The driver reminded me of Casey Jones:



    Later in the day we went to the Lakeside Hotel - they have 'Happy Hour' after 4pm. It was like stepping back in time as you walked in. We sat on the veranda in rocking chairs which overlooked the lake in the distance. Segways Tours are available - we might try that next time we visit.

    It's a nice day out and about an hour from Champions Gate, very straightforward to get to. We drove over in May and it is a pleasant afternoon out. The trip on the train is obligitory and watch out for the "rare tree"
