Stirling-Rawdon & the surrounding countryside

A little farther
from the everyday.

Leave room for an unhurried afternoon. Start with Stirling’s farm stores and heritage, then follow your curiosity toward river towns, wooded trails and a day beside the water.

June 2027 opening planned · April–December season

Start local, then make a day of the wider region. Places marked farther afield are regional outings. Check each operator before travelling; seasonal openings differ from W&CH’s.
