• Answer:

  Head down to Merrickville. It is a delightful little place, with lovely old buildings, and loads of really interesting shops. There are 2 glass blowers, art galleries, a leather shop, specialty clothing and jewellery stores, a great kitchen/exotic food store, great restaurants, a metal foundry making interesting things .... It is small, only a few blocks, so easy to walk, and parking is really easy at this time of year. It is a great little getaway from Ottawa. I used to like going there by driving down River Road, to look at all the huge houses. Hang a right at Kemptville, and it is another 15 minutes or so from there.
