Welcome to Toronto History Walks! We are back for the 2025 season at the Bluffs! And what a season it shall be. This walking tour blends the human history and the natural history. A fascinating tour, so don't miss it. If you are new to Toronto then this tour is for you!

The Scarborough Bluffs is Toronto's best kept secret. Known as "Les Grands Ecores." by the French, and in 1788 Alexander Aitken, called the bluffs the High Lands. A hidden gem in Toronto which hides many secrets.

Elizabeth Simcoe named the Bluffs the Scarborough Highlands in 1793 and had reminded Elizabeth Simcoe of the limestone cliffs back in England, in her own words from her diary:

"The shore is extremely bold and has the appearance of chalk cliffs, but I believe they are only white sand. They appeared so well that we talked of building a summer residence there and calling it Scarborough."

The Scarborough Bluffs extended west along the coastline of Lake Ontario towards the town of York and later Toronto, but vast areas along the western edge were razed for industrial and residential development. The formation of the chalk cliffs continues to shrink due to erosion.

The price of this tour is $15.00 per person

This extensive walking tour begins at Bluffers Park Road and Brimley Road South, south of Kingston Road near the lake at the marina stop!

The 201 Bluffers Park Bus leaves Kennedy Subway Station every 15 minutes.

Hope to see you there!
