World Borders: Backpacking🎒To The Barony Of Caux🟨⬛️🐤🐦‍⬛Within Toronto, Canada

Getting to the Barony Of Caux is easy enough and for me, it was so close to my hostel I could go on foot. I’ve actually been there twice now, on consecutive days!! I went on my first night back in Toronto, Canada in July 2026 (after a lot of mishaps). That time I backpacked it by foot from my hostel at night, The Planet Traveler in Kensington Village. However it was too dark and streets were badly lit so I went back the next day. As you can see from the below photos, the first night it was too dark for me.

Backpacking The Barony Of Caux at night – but it was too dark so I had to come back the next day!!

To get there, I backpacked from The Planet Traveler along College Street to Bathurst Street where I turned right. I then walked north on Bathurst Street as far as Bloor Street. The Barony Of Caux is on Barton Avenue, which is parallel to Bloor Street. When you reach Bloor Street take a left. Then you can go right via either Clinton Street or Christie Street and the next street along is Barton Avenue. See below map. Barony Of Caux is the red pin. Easy!

On the second day I was coming from the Yonge Street direction so I took a yellow metro line to Christie station. It’s the nearest station to The Barony Of Caux! Literally 4 or 5 minutes walk!

From Christie Station, I turned right, I walked up Christie Street past The Baseball Park then took a right onto Barton Avenue. The Barony Of Caux building is number 129 Barton Avenue.

You will walk past a Baseball centre, funded by the Toronto Blue Jays.

After that, I turned right onto Barton Avenue and then you just follow the numbers until you see…

The actual address is 129 Barton Avenue, this was on the right for me on day two coming from Christie Station. It is very easy to find and the streets are all signposted. You have arrived!

Arrival at The Barony Of Caux, 129 Barton Avenue

Once you are here you can admire it, read up on it and if you happen to know the people who live there, then you have got lucky and actually got a free entry visa to the interior. For me, I simply put my feet across the border as proof I had backpacked it!!
