Burlington Things to Do

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.

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.
