On the way back from the Jost Vineyard (article to be published on Food Network Canada's blog) we made an impromptu stop at Balmoral Grist Mill. To be honest, we really did not want to pay the oddly priced $3.60 for a tour of the mill so instead we descended down the long staircase to the bottom of the gorge on Matheson's Brook.
How many times can you stand on the stones of a gorge and look up at a dam? I certainly have never done it before. We saw people walk along the pedway so perhaps if you were not cheap like us you could spend the $3.60 and see more than just the mill, LOL. We spent enough money buying blueberry wine for one day.
It is always great to get exploring with my friends who help keep me sane and functioning in Nova Scotia. My favourite adventures are always the spontaneous ones off the map and this definitely qualifies for that kind of visit! A neat little side trip for our long day out in Northern Nova Scotia in the summer.

I love that green and mossy dam! Very picturesque!
It's beautifull! I'm like you and probably wouldn't have spent the 3.60 Lol!
Love it....what beautiful pictures. They remind me of New Salem State Park where Abraham Lincoln lived. The town near and around the site are very old time looking which captivates me. Thanks Susie for bringing us along!
