Canada’s Most Beautiful Village Merrickville | Jewel of the Rideau | Swing Bridge & Small-Town Magic

Join us on a peaceful afternoon in Merrickville, Ontario – also known as *The Jewel of the Rideau*. 🌿 Just 1 hour from Ottawa, Merrickville is a charming historic village along the UNESCO World Heritage Rideau Canal. In this vlog, we explore the village with our toddler – starting with ice cream, visiting the Merrickville Blockhouse Museum, watching the swing bridge in action for the very first time, enjoying a pizza lunch, strolling along the streets, and browsing through a beautiful open-air antique shop. If you’re looking for a relaxing Ottawa day trip with history, good food, and small-town charm – Merrickville should be on your list. #Merrickville #OttawaDayTrip #RideauCanal #OntarioTravel #FamilyVlog
