Itinerary:

This is one of my mother's favorite events in the TOC, so I'm doing another one of them for her.

We'll start at Chester Subway Station and head down into the Don Valley. We'll take the Don Valley Trail north to Crothers Woods, walk through the Nieghborhood of Bennington Heights & then take the Moore Ravine down to the brickworks.

We'll chill at the farmers market for about an hour to give you an opportunity to shop before finishing our journey. Anyone who wants to drop out at the Brickworks, there's a free bus shuttle back to Broadview or you can take the TTC bus to Davisville.

For those who want to stay on, we'll follow the path back through the ravine out to Castle Frank Station.

Total distance for this hike is 8 KM and it's 6 km to the brickworks.
