HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

Limehouse is a very important place in the area. Quarrying was done and then the limestone was heated to break it down into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, important in the production of cement, lime and other building materials. We will see the old lime kilns, quarry and storage building for explosives. Part of the charm of the trail is going through the ‘hole in the wall’. Our hike will also take in the “Seed Orchard” developed by the Toronto Bruce Trail Club
