Coombs

Highlight • Settlement

This small town has a lot of unique charm that you can't find anywhere else. The main attraction is the Old Country Market, which is probably more commonly known as Goats on the Roof, because...there's goats on the roof of course. Inside you'll find unique gift and home decor items as well as a varied selection of groceries. The town also has "Butterfly World" which is an indoor tropical rainforest designed to be a sanctuary for a wide range of butterfly species.

Old Country Market

Highlight • Rest Area

The market has played an important role in the Coombs community, providing jobs and attracting tourists to the area. It is a meeting point and a place where both locals and visitors can enjoy fresh products and unique crafts.
Coombs' Old Country Market is much more than a market; It is a cultural and tourist experience that offers something for everyone. Its combination of high-quality products, cozy atmosphere and unique attractions such as the goat roof make it a must-see destination on Vancouver Island.
