Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks. BOth statements are correct. it's about 13 blocks uphill slightly with steeper grade at the end. I would take a cab.

Langley Cruisers Posted February 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 29, 2012 If you feel this is somewhere you want to go, then I would cab it there and walk back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks. City bus will pick you up in front of the cruise terminal #31 (don't even cross the street), take you downtown, where you can transfer to an #11 or #14 (the 14 runs more often) which goes up Fort St and drops you a block and a half from Craigdarroch. $2.50/ea. http://bctransit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we do walk it can at times be difficult for us so I think we we try the bus or cab. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbee Posted March 1, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I forgot to mention that the Lt Governors mansion is just down the road from Craigdarroch, and has lovely gardens, worth the visit (and it's free) http://www.ltgov.bc.ca/gardens/default.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted March 3, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I would hope that Puffinater realizes that while Craigdarroch is marketed as a "castle" it is really just a large mansion and not a castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As indicated in my original post I reviewed the website before I even posted the question. We have done Buchart twice and we are just looking for easy to do things to fill the day.
