Archway to Beauty


This lovely archway, in its beautiful setting, can be found at the Mackenzie King Estate in Gatineau Park. The property was bequeathed to Canadians by Canada’s 10th prime minister. William Lyon Mackenzie King’s love of architecture and landscaping, as well as his romanticism, can be seen in the ruins he positioned to highlight various views as well as the picturesque walking trails he carved out of the property’s woodland. One trail leads to a waterfall named the Bridal Veil. The estate is a lovely place to go for a stroll.
