Embark on a picturesque countryside tour spanning Wellington, Waterloo, Eramosa, Milton and Dufferin counties, commencing from Fergus and traversing through Elora, West Montrose, Rockwood, Eramosa, Belwood, Orangeville, Grand Valley, Arthur, and back to Fergus. Revel in the charm of open roads and country vistas flanked by country churches, roadside stands, markets, hydro towers, windmills, and sprawling farms, all while encountering the tranquil upper Grand River multiple times. Anticipate just over 3 and a quarter hours to reach Orangeville, where a great lunch awaits at the Barley Vine Rail Co restaurant, followed by another hour and a half through Dufferin County to Grand Valley and Arthur, then circling back to the Belwood Lake and Fergus region.
Setting off from the Chucks Roadhouse parking lot behind Tim Hortons on Hwy 6, we’ll navigate alongside the Grand River to Elora, then venture westward, passing through the iconic covered bridge at West Montrose. Continuing east to Inverhaugh, we’ll meander southward through picturesque agricultural roads, past Cox Creek Winery, and onto the scenic Guelph Lake Eramosa area. A brief stop at the Wellington Country Market (bring a small cooler for possible purchases) and then a bio break in Rockwood.
Continue with a traverse back north through Ontario farmland, up to the Lake Belwood area reuniting with the Grand River.
Journeying up to Dufferin county and then back down into Wellington we’ll head to Orangeville for a leisurely lunch. Afterward we will head north into mid Dufferin County and westward, towards county road 25 and proceed south through the charming village of Grand Valley, continuing west to Arthur for a brief pit stop.
Our return route will take us south on Hwy 6 to Fergus, where we’ll cross over the Grand River, meandering through scenic landscapes with a potential stop at one of the local road side corn and vegetable stands (cash only) before concluding our adventure at the Fergus Tim Hortons / Chucks Roadhouse parking area.
Please note: McDonald’s is conveniently located next to Tim Hortons for your refreshment needs before departure.
