HOCKLEY VALLEY + TOUR OF CIDERY + BAKERY VISIT

PAYMENT REQUIRED ASAP!

Distance: 13 km
Terrain: very hilly with rolling sections

Great views along the escarpment and a variety of terrain along the trails. The hike will be a mix of main Bruce trail and side trails, with lunch somewhere along the way. On our way home we'll stop for a 1 hr tour of a cidery with an artisan cider + cheese pairing. Mmmm. Cider varieties may include pear cider, oak aged cider, ice cider + unfiltered craft ciders. There is also a bakery where you can pick up slow fermented artisan breads that have been baked in a wood-fired stove, as well as hand made pies, buns and other treats. (I will be going for the sourdough apple bread)

We will be hiking at 3.5 km an hour (it's pretty hilly) and will have a lunch stop of 20-30 minutes.
