Westfield is a Heritage Village and Conservation Area with an hour drive from Cambridge/Kitchener and Hamilton. They have added some new trails–all flat so a good beginner level hike or for those who want an easier hike at the start of the week. We will meet at Westfield Village parking lot-free to HCA passholders-$11.00 per vehicle if not a member-according to their website

We will hike around the back of the village through the forest and over the covered bridge to the train station and then do a circular hike through the sugar bush and Westfield trails returning back through the main street of the pioneer village
