Albion Falls, Cascade waterfall in Hamilton, Canada
Albion Falls is a waterfall in Hamilton where Red Hill Creek drops over limestone ledges, creating a natural stepped formation. This structure spans multiple levels and continues to be shaped by water erosion over time.
At the end of the 1700s, William Davis established a settlement near the falls and built a mill that operated for many years. The mill eventually closed in the early 1900s, marking the end of that period of activity.
The name comes from Albion, a poetic term for Britain. Today, the place draws people who want to experience the natural surroundings and watch the water cascade down.
The site is reachable via a short walking path from the parking area on Mountain Brow Boulevard and has viewing platforms for visitors. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes, as the path and platforms offer different conditions depending on the season.
Stones from the falls area were used to build a rock garden that is now part of larger botanical grounds. This reuse of natural materials shows how the landscape has been adapted for different purposes over the years.
