Map of the Don Valley Brickworks (Toronto )The Don Valley Brickworks in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is in the center of a number of interesting and historic areas along the Don River. The abandoned, but soon to be revitalized, Brickworks buildings are a favourite with photographers and photobloggers. The grounds have been naturalized, with the Moore Park Ravine heading north up to the Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Northeast of the area are popular mountain bike trails, Pottery Road, and Todmorden Mills. Whether you're in Toronto on vacation, or live here, you'll be sure to learn more about the area here.
