Starting at the Sir Andrew MacPhail Homestead in Orwell, this route warms up on the Confederation Trail before venturing onto two rolling Heritage roads: Klondyke Road, and County Line Road. Preserved to look much as they did 100 years ago, these Heritage Roads are narrow red clay lanes under a delightful hardwood canopy. The route then continues on rolling clay roads for over 10 km before a combination of clay, gravel, and paved sections brings you back to the Confederation Trail for a well deserved cool down.
