š° Dundurn National Historic Site has been on my list of things to visit for a year now. Although you cannot physically go inside the Castle or Kitchen Garden for a tour there was plenty to walk around and see! There are many trails throughout the grounds and as it borders the Lake there is a beautiful trail along the Lakeās edge. Plenty of picnic tables, large trees and lawn space for picnicking as well! Located about 20-25 mins from Oakville within Hamilton and 5 minutes away from the Royal Botanical Gardenās. ā£ ā£@dundurn_castle
