Feb 17 Ten Things That Make Middlesex County Awesome!

Middlesex County is full of wide-open spaces & pleasant surprises. Surrounding the City of London in southwestern Ontario, this massive rural area may feel overwhelming at first for visitors trying to discover the essence of the place.

This is what our team at young & free pressset out to discover.
