Village Squire, 1977-08, Page 17valleys. Continue to follow the winding
road until you come to a corner that is
undistinguished except for a Dial Real
Estate sign. Turn left here. Follow the road
as it dips and dives over hills and valleys
until you come to a dead end three or four
miles along. Turn left again here as the
road winds around the hill. You'll soon
pass the Hardwood Hill Conservation Area
maintained by the Saugeen Valley
Conservation Authority. You're in Culross
township in Bruce county now.
At the next stop sign turn left and you're
headed west, just west of the village of
Teeswater. Head west through some scenic
countryside until you come to another dead
end road with an arrow pointing one way to
Langside the other to Holyrood. We turned
left to Langside. At the first corner turn
right and you'll soon come out at the corner
where the old Langside church and school
sit rather forlornly in the middle of farm
fields. Turn left and head over the hill to
the village itself which is if anything even
more forlorn. The old Langside general
store still stands, but it's empty. There's
the old building which used to house a
blacksmith shop but it's no longer in use
either. Turn right on the 4th concession of
Kinloss. The road curves and you'll pass a
small lake on your left and soon after that
there's a forested area looked after by the
Bruce county Forestry department which
welcomes hikers. Further along there's a
pretty farm pond owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Ted Collyer.
The road soon begins to twist and turn
more and drops steeply into the valley in
what the natives call the Kinloss
mountains. There's a river at the bottom of
the valley which is a favourite local fishing
stream. Then it's back up the steep
winding hill and down into another valley.
It's farming country but with all the huge
gravel deposits left by the glaciers
receding after the ice age, farming is
difficult. It makes for some pretty scenery
though.
After coming out of the "mountains"
you'll come to a paved road, one of the
Bruce county highways. Turn left and head
into Lucknow. The corner you've turned at
is called Grey Ox locally because it was
once the site of the Grey Ox Inn and there
was a school here too. Now neither remain.
Further along you'll come to a strung out
little community known colloquially as
Rapid City which stretches almost all the
way to the northern limits of Lucknow.
In Lucknow you'll come once again to
Highway 86 which provides the main street
of the village. Turn right and head west on
Highway 86.
A few miles west of Lucknow you may be
able to pick out the remains of a few
buildings on your right which formed the
village of Paramount at one time. There
was a cheese factory and several other
businesses here. Today they're all just
faded memories.
Later you'll pass through the village of
Lochalsh before coming to Amberley and
the junction of Highways 86 and 21. You
may wish to cross the highway and go
down to Amberley beach for a while or
there's another picnic area at the junction
of the two highways on the west side.
From Amberley it's south (left) again to
the villages of Kintail, Kingsbridge and
finally back where we started at Port
Albert.
