Getting to the Wareham Forge
The Wareham Forge is located about half way between the small
towns of DUNDALK (to the south) and FLESHERTON (to the
north). This places it half way between the larger cities
of ORANGEVILLE (to the south) and OWEN SOUND (to the
north). Driving time from TORONTO (going NW) is about 2
1/2 hours, from KITCHENER (going NE) is about 2 1/4 hours.
It is about 45 minutes from ORANGEVILLE (going north). Note that the Wareham Forge is a working facility, and there is no 'gift shop'. Most objects are created as direct commissions, there is little completed work kept on hand. 'Shop Visits' without previous appointments are NOT encouraged. The forge may not be fired on any given day, and the shop is dirty and often chaotic. It is not layed out in a manner that suits (or is even safe for) casual observers. |
