Description
We will follow the Donovan Bailey Trail to Bronte Road, then take Heritage Trail to Bronte Harbour. After a short break, we will continue along Waterfront Trail to Water's Edge Drive, then walk southwest along Marine Drive to return to our starting point. The route is on a mixture of paved and packed gravel paths.
If you would like to read up on this walk, it is described as Hike No. 11 ('Donovan Bailey/Bronte Village Loop') in Nicola Ross' book ''Halton Hikes'' (2016).
Please dress appropriately for the weather, and bring water and snacks. Hiking boots and poles will not be necessary.
