All About Hamilton
Walks and Things to Do
Walk here in 15 mins from my house. The whole harbour and all the trails are what makes living where I do amazing. There are about 15 kms of trails all along the waterfront.
The park has a loop trail but I recommend walking the left side of the harbour to the left of the boat loading zone. That trail will take you all the way to Princess Point in Westdale and has lovely views and wildlife along the way.
Alternatively, you can walk Bayfront and then go behind the marina stopping at the kids park (it's a boat and there's a splashpad) and then onwards toward pier 8 up to Williams Cafe for a snack or some ice cream. From there you can walk south on Hughson back to my house in about 20 mins.

Brunch! This place is in Barton Village, about a 15 min walk away. Not the nicest walk to get there but there are a number of cute food spots and shops popping up over there so worth it once over there.
