Foldens Sweaburg Salford - 17 km or 31 km

Experience Level: Easy to moderate, recreational ride

Route Surface: Paved, except for 1.25 km side road to/from Trillium Woods

Length: 17 or 31 KM

Route Description:

Take a leisurely ride along quiet country roads to get the real feel for Oxford County. Located close to Ingersoll and Woodstock, the Foldens start location is easy to access for a short tour. If feeling energetic and have a bit more experience riding on roads, consider extending the ride an additional 14 km with another peaceful country road loop through Salford and back.

Route highlights include stops for maple tarts and country market shopping at Leaping Dear Adventure Farm and Market. With the maple theme continuing, take a turn off on Trillium Line to Jakeman’s Maple Farm. While there, simply cross the road to check out the lush forest and trail through the Trillium Woods.

If taking the longer route be sure to stop at The Village Cheese Mill at the cross roads shortly after the 25 km mark. Cruise back into Foldens from either ride to continue on with the day out.

Route Option and Notes: 

Extend the ride by adding an additional 14 km loop. Longer route recommended for cyclists with more experience riding on roads due to higher traffic volumes on route north from Salford. If less experienced, consider riding on gravel shoulder for this 2 km stretch along Plank Road/County Road 19.
