Scarborough Bluffs
1 Brimley Rd. S, Bluffers Pk Rd, Scarborough, ON M1M 1B7
Towering lakeside escarpment of layered sand and clay, steadily crumbling into Lake Ontario below.
This guide to the Scarborough Bluffs in Toronto traces a cottage once owned by 1970s TV comedian Billy Van, and how a full lawn's worth of ground disappeared into Lake Ontario within a matter of years. These sand-and-clay cliffs have been eroding since the last ice age, and they take their English name from Elizabeth Simcoe, wife of Upper Canada's first governor, who thought the pale, layered walls resembled her hometown in Yorkshire.
