With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Stoney Creek and extending to:

  • The National Capital at Parliament Hill (Ottawa, ON) is 530 miles [853 km]<1> to the west (W). If you could drive a straight line from Stoney Creek to Parliament Hill, with an average speed<4>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take just over a day to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 31 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 21 days.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Stoney Creek) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Stoney Creek. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.0000, Longitude: -64.7167    
<2>If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database.
<3>While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.
<4>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<5>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Stoney Creek to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 299.385 degrees.
<7>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 295.088 degrees.
<8>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 295.43 degrees.
