7. Limehouse Conservation Area Limehouse Conservation Area is the place for hikers looking for a challenge. Travel through history and imagine a time when these lands were actively used in the production of lime for cement. Several of the lime kilns and powderhouse magazines have been preserved for all to view. The Bruce Trail runs through this area and hikers can expect a varied terrain of meadows, creeks and limestone crags. Make sure that the famous `hole-in-the-wall' hike is on your list. Plan to bring refreshments, camera, binoculars, lunch, sturdy hiking boots and a hiking stick. Once you visit this area, you will be marking it on your calendar to return time and time again. http://www.limehousekilns.ca/ http://www.creditvalleyca.ca/recandleisure/limehouse.htm 8.
