Cheltenham Badlands is a natural heritage landmark boasting unique landscape features and is situated southeast of Olde Base Line Road in Caledon. This location holds immense educational significance due to the visible geological processes it showcases.

Recognized as a Provincial Earth Sciences Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI), it is one of Ontario's premier examples of badlands terrain. In the 1800s and early 1900s, this site served primarily for agricultural purposes, particularly cattle grazing.

CHELTENHAM BADLANDS REVIEWS
It's a beautiful hike to the badlands through the forest, about a 10 to 15-minute hike. The badlands themselves are gorgeous and a rarity to see. The hike is very dog friendly! We loved it.
Very informative and educational place. The sights are one of a kind and very rare. Around 10-15 minutes trail walking to get there. Go and experience it yourself.
Beautiful little trail. Cannot believe the rock formation is 450 million years old. Will be coming back to hike the bruce trail here too.

ALTON MILL ARTS CENTRE REVIEWS
Wow. If you are into history or art or both. This is a great place for you. A historical building that once used the power of the creek running along the side of the building to produce both linen and rubber products at different times. Now offers studio space and galleries for numerous talented artist's. Besure to check out the turbine room to see how this mill was once powered. The also have great events space if that's what you are looking for.
Beautiful place! I am so glad such historical places are given their second life. Art studios on the upper floor (if you are lucky, you can see an artist at work), an art gallery and shops and a cafe on the main floor, and a small museum on the lower floor. Centre has venues for different events and beautiful grounds. Definitely recommended to visit!
Fascinating historical retail location. The grounds are park-like, & the various ships offer unique art, jewelry, clothing & gifts. There's a snack bar to grab refreshments. Oh! And a wedding was taking place the day I visited. Beautiful setting for ceremony & reception.

CALEDON PUBLIC LIBRARY - MARGARET DUNN VALLEYWOOD BRANCH REVIEWS
BEST library with a fabulous selection, A lot of compute systems and majority of them are available due to proper management at the place. The staff has always been helpful, nice, and the librarian is humble kind and helpful! It's very thoroughly clean and it's quite fabulous overall. Building is fairly new as you can see kinda like 10 years old according to my observation.
Great library with a huge selection, lots of computers and usually not too busy. The staff is always nice and the librarian Heather is so sweet and helpful! It's very clean and it's pretty new (only about 10-15 years old I think.
Quaint, friendly, & beautiful library! So cute and small, the librarians are helpful and friendly which makes this place even better!
