Due to construction at this location I will give the answer; 30 km

Walk down again. On your right you will see "The Founding of Queenston" plaque.
C) What is the house number across from it?

Please walk down again until the Land Rover shop.

Follow the road along the river and enjoy the view. Look at the back of St. Saviours Brock Memorial Church.
H) How many years was Rev. Richardson rector here?
Above it, look for Major General Sir Isaac Brock in the stained glass window. This is unique for a church!
