Morpeth, Ontario

Morpeth is a community in Southern Ontario, Canada that is between Blenheim and St. Thomas on Highway 3 in the municipality of Chatham-Kent.

[2] The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says: "The Morpeth that Lampman knew was a small town set in the rolling farm country of what is now western Ontario, not far from the shores of Lake Erie.

Greenview Aviaries, a park and zoo, is located less than a mile east of the village in Ridgetown, Ontario on the former Highway 3.

It attracts visitors from a wide area and has expanded over the years to house many additional animal species, including Big Cats (Tiger, Lions, Jaguars), Wild Game (Buffalo, Elk, Zebras), Primates, Reptiles and Birds.

[4] Morpeth also sees a number of visitors traveling to nearby Rondeau Provincial Park[6] and to Wildwood By the Lake, a family campground.
