Combermere
Location of Combermere in Ontario
Combermere is a village along the Madawaska River in south-eastern Ontario, Canada. It is part of Township of Madawaska Valley. It is named after Sir Stapleton Cotton, Viscount Combermere (1773–1865).[1]
Combermere is best known as home to the Madonna House Apostolate, but the community provides access to numerous lakes and rivers for cottagers and tourists who visit the area. The village is home to the Sinking of the Mayflower Steamship lookout, which gives tourists an overlooking view of the lake where the Mayflower sank on the night of November 12, 1912.[2]
