Want a solid workout for free? Check out the Wentworth stairs. With over 300 you’ll feel that thigh burn in no time :) Plus the view at the top is cool. There are several other stairs along the escarpment if you’d prefer a different location.
The Wentworth Stairs are located at the South end of Wentworth Street South. These 498 steps are the most used escarpment stairs & during the summer it's estimated these steps are traversed 2000 times per day.
Of Hamilton’s 5 sets of stairs the Wentworth Stairs is one of the oldest. There are 498 steps in total! The original wooden steps were built in 1903 next to the site of the city’s second Incline railway (1895–1936)( Eastend Incline Railway) at the base of the escarpment and Wentworth Street. They were replaced with metal steps after a rock slide in March 1983 and now follow the path of the old Incline Railway. During summer months it is estimated that these steps are traversed over 2000 times per day. A great cardio workout! And you can access the Bruce Trail along the escarpment here as well!
