Carp Road (
A curious artifact of pre-amalgamation Ottawa is the inconsistent numbering of addresses on Carp Road, divided at the intersection of Rothbourne Road, the boundary of the former townships of Goulbourn and West Carleton: Addresses begin at 1000 and run south toward Stittsville in Goulbourn, but begin at 2000 and run north toward Fitzroy Harbour in West Carleton.
Among notable landmarks along the road are:
- Carp Road Landfill run by Waste Management - 142 hectare facility with a 35 hectares landfill site[1]
- Carp Fair - home to annual fall fair since 1863[2]
- Irish Hills Golf and Country Club - a 9 and 18 hole course with banquet facilities[3]
- Carp Airport - former military airfield (World War II British Commonwealth Air Training Plan field) and now private general aviation facility
- Diefenbunker former bomb shelter from the 1950s (closed 1994) and now Cold War museum
- Carp Hills - upland extension of the Canadian Shield running along Carp Road
