Tamworth Ontario Aerial Tour Phantom 3 Standard Drone Summer 2017 #lennox&addington #stonemills
A drone tour of Tamworth Ontario Canada recorded in July and August 2017. Tamworth is a village near Beaver Lake, about halfway between Toronto and Ottawa. This tour shows that Tamworth truly 'has it all'! Tamworth is located in Stone Mills, Lennox and Addington, Ontario, Canada.
Originally settled in 1826, Tamworth received its name in 1848 the year of the great potato famine in Ireland. The area was settled by many Irish immigrants and by 1865 the population of the area was 500. In 1884 the Tamworth and Quebec Railway had three trains departing to Napanee each day. Once the forest cover had been removed the soil that remained was not of the best quality, but farmers persevered and the area included many cheese factories. Farmers could supplement their incomes cutting trees in winter to be floated down the Napanee River to mills to the south. Featured in Michael Ondaatje’s “In the Skin of Lion” Tamworth is a charming village steeped in the history of the hard work of the generations who laboured to create a life here.
Tamworth today is a mix of farms, homes and cottages on Beaver Lake and includes all the services of city with the charm of a village. Churches, a bank, hockey arena, a video store, restaurants, a hardware store, grocery store, pharmacy, liquor store, library and many other amenities, make for a great place to raise a family. Beaver Lake flows into the Salmon River which runs through Tamworth and this flowing water was the source of much of the commerce in the mills that form part of Tamworth’s past.
Tamworth is a great place to live, visit, or just spend some time exploring. Please come and find out just how much we have to offer.

Riverdale Farm - Toronto
How many large cities have a fully functioning farm right in their downtown and to top it off, it's FREE? Riverdale Farm is a great place for both children and adults. It's located on the east side of downtown Toronto, in one of the most charming neighbourhoods, Cabbagetown. Yes, the farm is called Riverdale Farm but it's located in Cabbagetown, not Riverdale, which is on the east side of the Don River.
Cabbagetown is a charming neighbourhood with beautiful, historic homes. If you come to Toronto, you've got to check it out. Also there is a great historic cemetery, right beside the farm/park, which you should also check out. Shopping and restaurants/bars are close by too, on Parliament Street, just a 5 minute walk west.
There are lots of charming things to take pics of in Cabbagetown. Chinatown East is just across the river too, if you're in the mood for Chinese food. I'm always in the mood for Chinese food! lol
And for those who love farms, Centre Island also has a free farm with animals running around but it's smaller then the one here.
