Profiles:
Alnwick/Haldimand - www.northumberland.ca/alnwickhaldimand
RouteYou'll find a pastoral paradise along this section of the Waterfront
Trail while cycling under the canopy of mature trees. The Trail
itself is wonderfully quiet and remote. Nawautin Shores Nature Sanctuary
is a tribute to the late Bob Marshall's vision and commitment to
creating a residential development with a restored wetland that
is publicly accessible. Along Wicklow Beach Rd there is a stretch
of stone beach where people often swim and picnic. A short (1.5km)
distance to the north you'll find the Hamlet of Grafton with its
antiques, heritage homes and Barnum House Museum. |
