Shakespeare, Ontario is well known for its antique stores, quilt and home decor shops, pie and bakeshop, and stop off spot for tourists on their way to Stratford to see a play at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.

Just a mile or so north of the only stoplight in Shakespeare you will find the Shakespeare Conservation Area.  This is one of my new favourite spots to take Lola for a walk.  You can walk all around the pond which is bordered by farmer's fields.  The large trees are home to many varieties of birds.

Shakespeare Conservation Area is a day use only park so it's a great spot to enjoy a picnic or just kickback and watch the geese and ducks.  On my visit this evening I spotted two blue herons flying over the pond.

If you are looking for a quiet spot in the country to enjoy a little peace and quiet, put Shakespeare Conservation Area in Perth County on your bucket list.

Jenny, I certainly understand why you love your new area...it's beautiful...the conservation area and farms seem so removed from the hustle and bustle of city life.
