Britannia Village: Eclectic and Fascinating

We'll meet at the intersection of Rowatt St. and Kirby Rd. From there, we'll walk east on Rowatt to Bradford St., north along Bradford to the Britannia Yacht Club. Continuing east on Cassels St., we'll come to Britannia Rd., then turn south, walking three blocks to Salina St. in the south end of the village. Turning west on Salina, we come back to Bradford Rd., where we will go north to Rowatt and then west, returning to the intersection of Rowatt and Kirby, where we began. The distance is about 1.5 km.

For those using strollers, wheelchairs, or mobility scooters, the streets in Britannia are narrow; except for Britannia Rd. there are no sidewalks, so we will be walking on the road. The sidewalks have curb cuts that may be a little tricky for wheeled vehicles. On the plus side, the area is generally flat.

There is parking along Rowatt St. and Kirby Rd.
