Walk or drive through Centre Wellington long enough and Elora mill and West Mill Street comes up. The mill at the end of West Mill Street anchors the limestone commercial core. The Jack R. MacDonald Pedestrian Bridge gives the postcard river crossing a few steps away.
Elora's self-guided walk sends you across the Jack R. MacDonald Pedestrian Bridge, past the Elora mill on West Mill Street, and up to Victoria Park for Upper Grand Gorge Trail views of the Tooth of Time and Lover's Leap, where the Grand River meets Irvine Creek. Downtown Fergus answers with the Pipes, Plaid and Pageantry Parade, the Fergus Grand Theatre tourism desk, and a business beat that still talks about the Nexans Fergus cable plant. The gorge draws the cameras; the cable plant and council races keep the township grounded.
