Waterford Heritage Trail

If you are in the mood for a great hike, this is the trail for you! It is 19km long and is open year-round. Make sure to pack appropriate hiking equipment and start the hike ahead of time before dark.

A popular point of interest you will come across is Black Bridge. It is an old rail bridge which has now been converted into a pedestrian bridge as part of the trail. On the trail, you will see ponds, beautiful views, and lookout points. You will also pass through gorgeous forests, fields, wetlands and grasslands, so make sure you dress warm and with waterproof shoes. This trial allows for hiking, cycling and cross-country skiing.

You can access the hike through Jenkins Road, where the trail connects to the Brantford Rail Trail, as well as access Waterford at the end of Nichol Street.

Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery

If you are ever in the Norfolk County area and enjoy fine wine and ciders, this should definitely be on your list of places to visit! The vineyard is ten acres big on a 130-acre farm, producing nine grape varieties harvested to produce wine you can drink on any occasion.

The climate surrounding the area is perfect for producing the best grapes, which lend themselves well to making fine-tasting wine. There are a few full-bodied reds, a few light & refreshing whites and unique lavender-infused bubbly and dessert wine.

The estate is open five days a week from Wednesday to Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm!
