Errington offers a refreshing blend of pastoral living and outdoor adventure, minutes from the beaches and amenities of Parksville and Qualicum Beach. Locals hike forested trails and cool off at the emerald pools of Englishman River Falls Provincial Park, detailed by the official BC Parks page for Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. Wildlife lovers frequent the renowned North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre, where rehabilitated eagles, owls, and other raptors inspire every age. On summer Saturdays, the community comes together at the Errington Farmers’ Market for fresh produce, baked goods, and live music. Evenings often lead to concerts and festivals at the storied Errington Hall, with the famous “goats on the roof” at the nearby Old Country Market in Coombs adding a quirky note to weekend outings.
Families appreciate strong local schooling: Errington Elementary School anchors early years, with secondary options in neighboring towns. Daily needs are within easy reach, while a quick drive to Nanaimo opens up big-box shopping, ferries, and additional health and cultural services. Real estate ranges from cozy family homes to acreage properties with room for gardens, workshops, and hobby farms, making space a feature rather than a luxury.
