A Place for Hobby Farmers

Much of Flamborough is located on top of the Niagara Escarpment; thus the Bruce Trail passes through the area. Although relatively flat in the south, a slow but steady incline is observable until reaching the Wellington County line which is the approximate height of land dividing two watersheds. The Beverly Swamp, located in the western part of the former Beverly Township, is another important physiographic area.

Notable natural attractions operated by the Hamilton Conservation Authority include:

- Westfield Heritage Centre, a living history museum containing pioneer era buildings moved from other locations across Ontario
- Valens Conservation Area, offering camping and boating at its reservoir
- Christie Lake, swimming and stocked fishing at its reservoir
- Spencer Gorge and Webster's Falls Conservation Area, spectacular view of the falls and city below while hiking on the Bruce Trail.

In recent decades, Flamborough has become home to commuters and hobby farmers in the Golden Horseshoe. It has easy access to secondary highways, especially with the opening of an interchange with Highway 403 at Waterdown Road, granting easier access for traffic to/from Toronto.[6]

Notable attractions operated as commercial enterprises include:

- Flamboro Downs, featuring harness racing, and slot machines
- Flamboro Speedway, featuring car racing
- African Lion Safari, with land mammals and birds of prey in an open air zoo
- Rockton World's Fair, an agricultural exhibition held every Thanksgiving Weekend (Canadian)
