Description
For residents and visitors alike, this indispensable guidebook invites readers to explore the history, heartbeat, and character of Canada's capital. Katharine describes 10 walking tours focusing on Ottawa's magnificent heritage buildings as well as the wonders of the natural green space within the city.
With this second edition, two new walks - the Central Experimental Farm (including the Arboretum and the Fletcher Wildlife Garden) and the Ottawa River Parkway - join Parliament Hill, Sussex Drive, Lowertown, New Edinburgh, Rideau Canal, The Glebe, Sandy Hill, and Rockcliffe.
This book is the third in a series. Historical Walks: The Gatineau Park Story, and Capital Rambles: Exploring the National Capital Region will also make invaluable additions to your home library.
