Fall Spots in Cowichan
There’s something special about fall. The shorter days, and longer nights have people seeking relaxing experiences, while the crisp, fresh air also makes us want to get outside and soak up the golden autumn sunshine.
Fall in Cowichan is no different. The bright reds and golden yellows of the farmland and hillsides glow, while the mist that settles along the ocean and in the valley give off a mystical vibe.
Ladysmith:
This seaside town is chock full of restored heritage buildings – vestiges of a frontier past financed by coal and lumber.
The downtown core is also home to a wide variety of shops, boutiques, bookstores, antique dealers and more eateries than you can shake a stick at. Spend a Saturday perusing the shops with a coffee and a famous cinnamon bun from Old Town Bakery, or stop for dinner at Plantitude, Ladysmith’s only vegan restaurant, or Maya Norte, a Spanish-Mexican fusion restaurant.
A walking tour of Ladysmith’s heritage route will take you past the heritage artifacts lining First Avenue and then ultimately to the Waterfront Art Gallery and BC’s only floating museum.
