Hikers should exercise caution when visiting the Limehouse Cliffs and the Hole in the Wall. It is important to follow the marked trails and stay on designated paths to avoid damaging the fragile ecosystem.

Rosedale Valley Road is a pleasant walk and no one released the hounds. Wayne Crockett, July 25, 2020. Please join me for the third of three interconnected hikes inspired by Wayne who would start and finish many of his urban walks at Castle Frank Station. Starting in Ramsden Park we will be following what used to be Castle Frank Brook in the 1800s. The first two hikes featured Mount Pleasant and Prospect Cemeteries and this one will include two more, St. James and the Necropolis, two cemeteries in proximity to each other. In between the two we will visit the Victorian neighborhood of Don Vale in Old Cabbagetown which has the largest concentration of surviving Victorian Homes in all of North America. After stopping for our lunch break at Riverdale farm we will continue along the Lower Don River Trail and reroute as previously advertised from Lake Shore Blvd. E. to Queen St. E. and Broadview Ave and then north through the Riverdale neighborhood to Riverdale Park East, finishing at Broadview Subway Station. Among the historic homes, buildings and churches we will visit will be The “Group of Seven” Studio Building, Wellesley Cottages, and the Toronto Necropolis Chapel.

GARLIC MUSTARD HIKES – Join us & HELP US FILL THE CRIB! We will hike in from Ridge Road – picking the invasive garlic mustard & greater celandine along the trail side along the way – bring a bag to fill (reusable grocery bag or garbage bag work well). Once we hike into the crib location we will dump our bags into the crib and pick garlic mustard in that area for a while & then hike back out. There are lots of spring ephemerals along the way to admire – mayapples, trout lilies, wild ginger and many others – reducing the invasive species will give these natives a chance to thrive!
Long sleeves are recommended & don’t forget your work gloves.
If parking fills up at the bottom of the hill there is room for a couple of cars to park at the trail head at Ridge Road.
