Backroads Ontario - Shakespeare Conservation Area

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Real Estate Centre Inc., Brokerage

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.
