Rod's Trail in Bettys Bay, Western Cape (original) (raw)
About Rod's Trail
Betty�s Bay is a very special part of the Western Cape, exuding an unspoilt beauty that is truly memorable. Rod�s Trail winds its way through this splendour, showing off the magnificent combination of mountains, sea and high African skies.
The trail extends along the base of the Kogelberg Mountain Range, through much of the local vegetation, and to the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens.
Immersing yourself in this floral beauty is truly a tonic, clearing the mind and revitalising the spirit. Rod�s Trail is an easy walk, and is popular amongst walkers and runners alike. It is suitable for children as well as for the rest of the family. Take a camera along to capture the stunning views as well as a pair of binoculars to spot the myriad of bird species.
