Clayburn Village
Clayburn Village is a unique, secluded enclave featuring the Clayburn Village Store & Tea Shop, clothing stores, farm produce, an art gallery and gift store, a heritage church and school, plus the site of the old brick plant. Built early in this century, this village of brick bungalows was a company town to one of the country's largest brick mills.

Parks & Recreation
Abbotsford has over 120 well maintained parks, totalling over 320 hectares of green space. Trethewey House is located near Mill Lake - "The Jewel of Abbotsford".
