Todd Inlet by Jetgirly
Located on the Saanich Peninsula, Todd Inlet is the closest thing we have to a ghost town in Victoria. There was a factory out there at the turn of the century (you can see the smokestack from the Butchart Gardens), and remnants of houses, buildings and even automobiles remain in the forest today. There are beautiful paths to walk along, and if you're daring you can walk off into the woods. It has recently become a provincial park so it is no longer legal to take home articfacts- instead place them along the wall where hikers have displayed hundreds of small found items.
It is actually called Gowlland Todd Provincial Park, but no locals call it that.
A map of the park and surrounding areas, plus directions, can be found at http://wlapwww.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/gowlland.htm
