Alnwick-Haldimand

You are here: Home / Community Profiles / Communities / Alnwick-Haldimand

You’ll find a pastoral paradise along this section of the Waterfront Trail while cycling under the canopy of mature trees. The Trail itself is wonderfully quiet and remote. Nawautin Shores Nature Sanctuary is a tribute to the late Bob Marshall’s vision and commitment to creating a residential development with a restored wetland that is publicly accessible. Along Wicklow Beach Rd there is a stretch of stone beach where people often swim and picnic. A short (1.5km) distance to the north you’ll find the Hamlet of Grafton with its antiques, heritage homes and Barnum House Museum.

  • Stock up on supplies since there are no en-route amenities. However, the Hamlet of Grafton is a short distance to the north on Station Rd. and a great place to visit.
