Upper Caulfeild
West Vancouver has a rich history- and a lot of it took place in the neighborhood of Caulfeild! Francis Caulfeild, an English scholar and artist, arrived with his daughter in Vancouver in 1898 on a leisurely tour of Canada and ended up in what is now Caulfeild Cove. After spending the day in the area, Caulfeild had already fallen in love with the enchanting, rugged, natural beauty. He was inspired to create a traditional, English-style village where houses would be built into the landscape and where people could enjoy the nature as a community. Caulfeild respected the landscape as it was and wanted to form building lots without the typical, pioneer-style clearing of the land which was common (and still carries on to this day), that strips the land of trees, shrubs and boulders, before building onto a void, lifeless piece of earth. Instead, he thought every effort should be made to keep large trees wherever possible and leave large boulders and rocks as they were, recognizing the uniqueness of each lot and working with that. That has characterized the Caulfeild we know today!

This is the only one of its kind in the western end of West Vancouver and the only grocery store in West of Dundarave (or 25th street to be exact). So having it right in your own neighborhood is a big perk. Caulfeild Park is one of the best-kept secrets in the neighborhood. It’s stunningly beautiful, but not so well known. It’s also not the most accessible. The park is a bit out of the way, there is no main entrance, and parking is very limited Caulfeild Park is unique in a number of ways. It’s in a wealthy residential neighborhood. There are homes right on the waterfront near the park. For ones in the immediate area, however, between the mansions and the ocean, is the pa
