Chatsworth

Chatsworth is a rural community in Grey County that spans across the intersection of Highways 6 and 10. The area includes several smaller villages like Berkeley, Desboro, Dornoch, and Walters Falls that together form this broader municipality.

The settlement started in 1848 as the northern end of the Toronto-Sydenham Colonization Road, an early trading route that later developed into what is now Highway 10. This original connection shaped how the region grew and developed over time.

This community brings together several small villages, each keeping its own local character while forming part of a larger whole. Walking through these settlements, you notice how each maintains its own distinct feel while sharing a connection to the broader township.

This is an open rural area accessed by the two main highways, which makes navigation straightforward. Since it is a rural area with limited services, visitors should plan ahead and bring what they may need for their visit.

This area contains the source waters of six river systems including the Styx, Saugeen, Sauble, Bighead, and Spey. These waterways shape the landscape and make the region significant for several different ecosystems.
