Mill Falls at Ancaster Village

IF EVER I had the fortune and pleasure of owning land with a natural waterfall on it, this would be just how I’d try to design the landscape around it! Mill Falls is one of the most intimate & attractive NATURAL waterfall settings I’ve ever seen.
Located in Ancaster Heritage Village near the Old Grist Mill and Old Mill restaurant, this 19.5 foot tall natural waterfall looks amazing nestled in the beautiful masterfully-​crafted stonescapes around the falls. No doubt the property owners took great care in planning the design to work with the falls natural beauty. Man-​made features include: a sitting patio w/​outdoor fireplace, a bridge, stone steps and retaining walls w/​built in benches, gorgeous iron/​glass railings, beautiful plants and flowers accented with lighting (making this a showstopper at night for visitors of the restaurant). Without question this is likely a top destination for wedding venues in lower Ontario because of its idyllic setting.
The village as a whole dates back to the early 19^th century and includes several restaurants, an ice cream shop, bakery, a organic food market, a British pub and of course Tim Horton’s. There is also a performing arts theater, shopping, a library and a really cool church with a unique inverted v-​shaped wood interior you should google to see (Ryerson United Church @ Ancaster Village). Walking tours are available to view the entire village or you can park in the «additional parking» area just above the falls if that is all you care to see.
FINAL THOUGHTS
A cute, charming little area off the beaten path with a gorgeous waterfall tucked away in a brilliantly landscaped scene. Seems as if it jumped right out of a Thomas Kinkade painting. Have a meal, do some browsing and enjoy a relaxing stroll through a small village with a home dating back to 1806 (The Tisdale House). In short, I love when man works in unison with nature because the results are harmonious and spectacular! I can’t explain it, but this waterfall makes me want to live a better life.
