Lovely and quiet place to visit when you want to get away from the noise and crowds at Niagara Falls. You can spend several hours here enjoying the scenery and glazing down onto the river. It’s quite relaxing when your head and soul needs a break.

Awesome! Great place to learn about Canadian history and the war of 1812. Brock's memorial is typically open but we went during a time when it wasn't which was fine. The "self guided tour" of different historical areas was hard to navigate and confusing. Had you going across a highway which I found unsafe and most of the paths weren't marked or cleared very well. Regardless a great place for a history buff.
