Elora is a community in the township of Centre Wellington. It is well known for its 19th-century limestone architecture and the geographically significant Elora Gorge. Some of the limestone cliffs are 80 feet high. At the eastern end of the village is the Elora Quarry Conservation Area, a scenic former limestone quarry, and is now a popular swimming area. Elora has many small shops, pubs, cafés, restaurants and art galleries. These are often in buildings built during the mid 19th century.
