Any plans for the upcoming school holidays?
Enjoy outdoor activities at
Karoo Desert National Botanical Garden it has a large secculent collection and a three hiking trails the Shale trail, Grysbokkie trail and the Heuweltjie trail. There's a large lawn with a jungle gym to keep the kids entertained and perfect for relaxing and enjoy a picnic.
The
Kleinplasie Museum is unique in the sense that is has structures which make up a traditional Cape farm yard and there are a variety of demonstrations you can watch. From Monday to Friday enjoy watching any number of the following: coffee making; candle making; rolling tobacco; bread baking; donkey cart rides; metal work and even soap making. On Saturday afternoon what how bread is made, unfortunately there are no demonstrations on Sundays. If you would like a bit more insight why not request a guided tour, remember these need to be booked in advance.
Not forgetting the
Nuy on the hill is situated about 10km past Worcester travelling on the R60. There are two stops on this short stretch worth pulling over for as you approach the Nuy Valley, the Overhex Winery and
Pampoen Padstal
