Wellington North cherishes its rural roots, heritage homes, century farms and grand old buildings, whose Victorian facades line the main streets of both Arthur and Mount Forest.

On the back roads watch for the unexpected surprises of farm gate vendors selling fresh produce and silky smooth cheeses made from both goat’s and sheep milk at on-farm dairies. And of course 14 different kinds of butter tarts made at scratch bakeries featured on ‘the Butter Tart Trail™’.

If a natural retreat is your choice, the GRCA’s Luther Marsh Wildlife Management Area is a nationally important bird sanctuary, and a focus of the Birding in Wellington North Trail brochure, "Bobolinks to Snipes".
