Mackenzie King Estate

QUEBEC

Want to uplift your spirit? A quiet walk in the woods at the Mackenzie King Estate, just north of Ottawa, should fit the bill. It once belonged to Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King and is now part of Gatineau Park, a protected area in the capital region of Canada. Explore King’s cottages, now home to a tearoom and museum. Stroll through the pretty gardens and have your photo taken by stone ruins from buildings moved here from Canada and abroad. Best of all, enjoy the leisurely walk among tall trees that lead you to a woodland waterfall — a perfect spot for reflection.
