The Hermitage is the ruins of an 19th century home. The ruins of the original building are located behind the smaller rebuilt home's ruins. The area is large and can be accessed from the Bruce Trail or from the Carriage House Museum parking lot.

Young guys, older guys, pretty good mix.
fIf you're going up (Southward) Wilson Street (which is also Highway 2) in Ancaster (where the Old Mill is) you continue driving up Wilson, past Mount Mary and just a bit past that. You'll then be making a right onto Sulphur Springs Road. Follow that for only a bit, then you'll come to an intersection where you'll see a sign saying Lovers Lane. You'll have to turn either left or right, as you can't go straight. Turn RIGHT as this continues Sulphur Springs Road. Keep following this windy road as you'll pass Deerview Ave, Woodview Cresc. which will be on your left. You'll still be on Sulphur Springs Road, and eventually, you'll come to an intersection, where if you were to continue straight, it would turn into Mineral Springs Road, and if you were to turn right, that would continue Sulphur Springs Road. The Hermitage is actually right at this Intersection. You can see the parking lot on your right hand side. When you park your car (i believe there might be a fee as well??) you'll see the Carriage House right in the parking lot there. If you continue up that walking path that's there, it will eventually lead you to the ruins which are in a fenced in area there.
