Merrickville-Wolford.

Merrickville-Wolford straddles the Rideau River where the Rideau Canal's three-lock flight (Locks 21–23) lifts boats 7.4 m through the centre of the village. Parks Canada designates Merrickville the "Jewel of the Rideau Canal" — the 1832 Merrickville Blockhouse NHS, the largest blockhouse on the canal and the second-largest surviving in Canada, anchors the lockstation greenspace at Mill Street, and the heritage downtown of 19th-century stone-and-brick Victorian buildings radiates outward from Blockhouse Park.

The Merrickville Ruins, an industrial-era mill site, sit between the canal and the river just steps from the locks. South of the village, the Limerick Forest North Tract carries a boardwalk out into Hanlan's Marsh — a 1,500-hectare provincially significant wetland and ANSI — and the Rideau Migratory Bird Sanctuary, designated by the Canadian Wildlife Service in 1957, covers 5.6 km of canal and river starting at the village edge.

Ottawa is about an hour north; Brockville and the St. Lawrence are 50 minutes south.

Merrickville-Wolford sits on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe and Algonquin Nations.
