Vintage black and white photo of a large group of people gathered in front of an ornate house, reflecting early Toronto community life.

Get ready for the holidays with a private tour of Cedarvale Ravine with the one and only Ernest Hemingway. He will escort you on a fascinating tour full of history and stories of his life when he was a resident of Toronto. Not to be missed! Hope to see you there!

Castle Frank Brook meandered through Cedarvale Park, and Ernest Hemingway, loved the urban tranquility this park oasis offered. At the time it was a cattle path in the heart of the city. In the 1920s and the 1930s plans to destroy the park and ravine with development was halted due to the Depression in the 1930s.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there were plans to build the Spadina Expressway which would have destroyed the park and the surrounding area.

Today, this walk is a soothing retreat into the heart of Forest Hill. And learn about Mr. Hemingway, the man, who will be the TOUR GUIDE on this tour, yes you read it correctly, he is leading this tour, and he will tell you all about his experiences, how he felt about walking in this part of the city and his strong feelings about life and Toronto in general!

This walk is for all fitness levels with some hills and inclines. And for guests wishing to bring their furry 4 legged friends, all dogs must be leashed for the walk!

We begin this walking adventure outside the St. Clair West Subway Station at the HEATH STREET NORTH EXIT in Forest Hill on Tichester/Heath Street west of Spadina Avenue.
