Empire Cheese is owned by local dairy farmers who elect a board of directors each year to run the factory. The cheese is made the traditional way, in openstyle vats which Empire says gives its cheese and curd a better flavour. No additives are used to boost production or preservatives added. It's all natural. The cheese is vacuum-packed in modern facilities to preserve its special flavour – a true mix of tradition and modern technology to give customers the best product possible. Church-Key Brewing makes superior ales in a most unusual place, a former Methodist Church dating back to 1878. Founded in 2000, it is the only craft brewery in picturesque Northumberland County. Here, beer is produced in small batches blending quality ingredients, old world traditions, and energysaving technologies. Four of the many sites on the Kawarthas Northumberland Butter Tart Tour are located in Trent Hills. Jackie’s mother’s recipe is a hit at Bridgewater Coffee and Pizza. If you like your butter tart runny, stop at Dooher’s Bakery, which has been recognized as Canada’s Sweetest Bakery. A hint of citrus blends perfectly with Pizza by the Bakery’s sweet tart. The rich buttery tart at Antonia’s Café and Bistro will have you coming back for more.

There are three golf courses only minutes from each other just outside of Warkworth. Each one offers something different for golfing enthusiasts.

Pine Ridge Golf and Country Club is a par-71 golf course that tests your putting skills but it's also popular with long hitters. Stretching over 6,000 yards from the back tees, Pine Ridge is target golf at its best! With small, fast, undulating greens and a meandering creek you'll need to exercise care to navigate the course. Golfers will have to think their way around to post a good score. With recent tee deck additions and restorations, Pine Ridge challenges any golfer from beginner to expert. Salt Creek Golf Links is a scenic 18-hole par-65 course with beautiful natural topography and a relaxed atmosphere. There's no pressure for speedy play and families are welcome. Each hole tests the player in a different way and offers a chance to make use of all clubs. Woods and water make playing the eight par-3's, the nine par-4’s and the one par-5 an enjoyable experience. Warkworth Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole par-72 course that golfers of all skill levels will find attractive. The beautiful course is well manicured with mature trees, sand traps, water hazards and large sculptured greens. The course measures 6,300 yards from the blue tees, 5,657 from the whites and 4,925 from the reds. It's an enjoyable course to walk but power carts are available for those who prefer to ride.

Warkworth Campbellford, a Tour of Designated Heritage Properties – Featured properties include several in the former Seymour Township as well as in the town of Campbellford. Lt. Col. Robert Campbell and his brother, Major David Campbell, settled in an area along the Trent River that later became known as Campbell’s Ford. By 1876 the settlement had grown and become a separate municipality, the Village of Campbellford. The population had increased so much by 1906 that it was incorporated as the Town of Campbellford.

The local heritage committee has created four self-guided tours that can be taken at one's leisure. The sights are to be viewed from the sidewalk or roadway only.

Seymour, a Driving Tour – The spotlight is on stone houses in the former Township of Seymour where settlement began in the early 1830s. In the 1850s stone masons and others from Scotland took up residence there. Limestone was the common building material and stone homes became the area's legacy. Hastings, an Architectural Walking Tour – Various heritage styles abound in the Village of Hastings. In 1810 James Crooks named the area Crooks Rapids, and when he sold his holdings to fellow Scot Henry Fowlds in 1851, it was renamed the Village of Hastings. Details, a Warkworth Walking Tour –Architectural elements (both historic and recent) are highlighted on some of the village’s more notable buildings. Warkworth is situated on land originally purchased from the Mississauga First Nation in 1784 for the benefit of United Empire Loyalist settlers, one of whom, Major Henry Humphries, chose Warkworth as the name in 1857.
