Malmesbury

70km from CT

Despite its tranquil setting, Malmesbury has a bustling business centre and an active informal sector. In winter green wheat fields and yellow canola fields blanket the countryside. The sandy, marsh and Renosterveld vegetation erupts into a kaleidoscope of colour in spring and can be viewed between June and September.

For the energetic outdoor enthusiast, there are 4×4 trails, game drives, nature drives, clay pigeon shooting and mountain biking. There are several restaurants and wine cellars.

Beautifully maintained and restored historic buildings along the “Historic Walkabout Route” are of interest to historians, architects and tourists alike.
