    "An historic mill town with a beautiful river running through it. One of the best things to do in Almonte is go for a stroll on the Almonte River Walk, a boardwalk beside the river."
    "This community is known for its strong artist presence and culture which is reflected in the galleries and shops you'll see here. Stroll along the rushing waterfalls and head to Mill Street for a photo op you can*t miss. "
