wool mill ruins at rockwood conservation area

The Harris Woollen Mill was built in 1867, and burned down in 1965. Only its walls are still standing at the popular Rockwood Conservation Area, east of Guelph.

 

The Conservation area also has towering limestone cliffs, caves and glacial potholes, including one of the world's largest. You can view them from hiking trails on both sides of the Eramosa River or in a rented canoe.

 

The conservation area has over 65,000 visitors a year from near and far and offers excellent recreational opportunities only a short distance from major metropolitan areas.
