Avon to Norfolk (the long way)
While it's easy to get from Avon to Norfolk heading West on Rt 44 (about 45 min), you can also head North into Mass. for a very scenic tour.
From Rt. 44 in Avon head North on 10/202 through Simsbury and into Granby. Take Rt 189 North in Granby (turning left off of 10/202 and then a quick right onto 189N) to Granville MA. Turn left onto Rt 57 and head west. As you approach Otis you will see a huge sign for a steep grade. Take this sign seriously as the hill is steep with some great turns. At the bottom of the hill there is a stop sign as you turn right, cross Rt 8 and zig-zag to a steel bridge staying on Rt 57. A few miles up, Rt 57 makes a sharp turn to the right (go slowly here). Continue on through the small towns until you get to West Marlboro where you'll turn left onto 272 and connect with the Norfolk loop trip going in the opposite direction and heading towards Norfolk (see that trip for more details). You'll see a small sign to Canaan after you pass the cafe, which is another great side trip if you want to do some more exploring and eventually wind up further away in Canaan on Rt 44.
If you don't take the Canaan road, stay straight on 272 into Norfolk and you will again be on Rt 44, where you can go straight and head back to Avon or stay on 272 to Torrington (making a left on Rt 4 when you get to Torrington).
