Second World War POW Camp Site

Tucked within the Wildflower Preserve, this quietly significant site marks where a small German prisoner-of-war camp once stood during the Second World War. Many of the POWs held here were put to work at nearby brickyards, including the iconic Don Valley Brick Works — an unexpected layer of global history hidden in a Toronto ravine. Visit as part of a broader wander through the Todmorden Mills area and leave with a richer, more nuanced sense of the landscape around you. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
