Tyne Valley: Route Directions

0.0
Start at Green Park, a few kilometres from the village of Tyne Valley, riding away from the park entrance on Green Park Road.
2.2 Turn right onto Route 12, toward Tyne Valley.
4.7 Murphy's Country Lodge is on the left.
6.1 Pass the Stewart Memorial Hospital on the right and immediately begin a short downhill into the village.
6.3 Turn right, staying on Route 12, immediately after crossing a bridge over the Trout River, but first take a few moments to walk around the village.

McNeil's Food Store, with groceries, sandwiches, soup, and pizza, is on the corner by the bridge. Straight ahead on Route 169, the Landing Oyster House and Pub is on the right. This place has a cheerful atmosphere, good food, and some of the best entertainment on the Island - but check on the nights when performers will appear.

Across the street from The Landing is a pleasant little café/deli for coffee and sandwiches. If you were to turn left immediately after the café onto Route 167, you would find The Doctor's Inn B&B a couple of houses down on the right.

After your visit to Tyne Valley, return to the bridge and turn at McNeil's Food Store, climbing a short hill and passing on the right a crafts gallery that sells hand-knit sweaters.

6.7 Turn right onto Route 166 towards Bideford.
10.2 Hilltop Acres B&B is on the right.

11.8 Turn right onto Route 12 West towards Poplar Grove.
There is a small dam and a spillway here, a pretty spot.

If you go straight here instead of turning left, you can detour to Lennox Island.

18.2 Continue straight toward Milligans Wharf, passing Brooks Road on the right.
