Grafton, a charming hamlet in Northumberland County in Ontario, was known for decades for its busy port. Originally known as Grover’s Tavern, the township still has the old eatery that goes by the same name. In fact, the region has a rich history and descendants of the first settlers still live here. The Barnum House Museum is the place to go if you want to learn about the town’s past.
On the other hand, the beautiful rolling countryside and cycle trails make Grafton a perfect place for glamping. Rolling Hills Central Arts road trip, Shelter Valley Road Cycling Loop and the Nawautin Nature Sanctuary are some of the activities and attractions in and around the quaint town. To know more about glamping here, read through our list of the top glamping spots near Grafton, Canada.
