If you are tired of looking at the same things, in the same stores, in any indoor mall, just jump in the car and head to Trent Hills. Campbellford, Warkworth and Hastings all have great shops with unique, one-of-a-kind items that you won't see anywhere else. We are also located right in the middle between Belleville and Peterborough, between Toronto and Ottawa and between Highway #7 and The 401 so the routes to and from here are endless.

Campbellford is the largest of the three Trent Hills communities and has a wide variety of shops and restaurants sure to please. Click Here for a sneak peak at what we have to offer. Warkworth is fast becoming a very artistic community their business community reflects that. Hastings has its share of interesting shops as well. There are also great shops in our neighbouring communities so we have attached their websites below with some suggested routes. Take a peek at the Regional Map to see which route you'd like to try this time.
