Faiza-Ifrah 616 reviews

Going south of Campbellville on the Guelph Line, we reached the town of Lowville. Here, the Garden Studio Gallery is a must place to visit. It is located at the entrance of the Lowville Park. The garden houses beautiful sculptures. The artists live in the double story car garadge type structure on the back of the gallery.

We parked our car in the garden and had a walk through.

An antique Ford parked in front of the bank

The walk on Guelph Line passing through Campbellville is a pleasant experience. There are antique stores on both sides of the highway. The traffic is slow. The views are beautiful. Finally, you get to see lot of motorcycles of various makes and shapes and even antique cars.

Visiting one of the many roadside shops is an absolute must for collectors of antiques and local artifacts.

View of Campenville

The small quaint town of Campbellville is located just south of Highway 401 on Guelph Line. It has many roadside antique shops with items that cannot be seen anywhere else. Guelph Line attracts motorcyclists from all over Greater Toronto Area and beyond. The town has a gas station, which is a meeting place for them. They come on this gas station by the droves for filling in, using it as a rendezvous for meeting the group members, exchanging views with other groups and then finally heading off to their destinations. There is a branch of Scotia Bank and any other facilities in traditional residential homes.

Campbellville can act as a central point to explore many conservation areas in the immediate neighborhood.
