Tues July 25 St Mary’s Grafton Shelter Valley Broomfield Eddystone Lyle

Janine is following in our series of the “Most Scenic of Northumberland” and raising the bar. Following Pam’s beautiful ‘WT West Lake Views’ and Colin’s ‘Shelter Valley Tree Tunnels’ she is adding with breathtaking views of streams and panoramic views of Grafton and Lake Ontario . Warning: there are hills involved, but the views make it worth it.

Route:

• Head to Hwy 2 ( one small hill) [ Turn Right on Hwy2]
• Left onto Shelter Valley Rd – 7.5 k [Long steady climb & beautiful views of Shelter Valley Creek.]
• Left onto Broomfield Rd- few medium size hills [4or5, Think of it like the Hill on Hwy 2 out east of Cobourg over railway tracks.]
• Left Eddystone Rd- 2 long windy hills and 2 small hills – then down hill [the long hill is a steep ‘S’ 2 stage hill, but the ride down after makes it all worth while]
• Left onto Lyle St – 2 long hill [Think of it like the hill in Cobourg up Ontario from the arena to the Dale Rd.]then downhill all the way into Grafton [The view of Grafton and the lake and this very long super-fun downhill make it all the work worthwhile]

Not to worry we will take time to enjoy the scenery.
