Malmesbury Things to Do & See

Malmesbury, the pulsating ‘Heart of the Swartland’, is just 40 minutes scenic drive from Cape Town and enjoys a Mediterranean-type climate.
Despite its tranquil setting, Malmesbury has a bustling business centre and an active informal sector. In winter, or ‘ green season’ , swathes of 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.

For the gourmand there are several fine restaurants and wine cellars.
Beautifully maintained and restored historic buildings along the
“Historic Walkabout Route” are of interest to historians, architects and tourists alike. Tranquil Malmesbury is the ideal getaway destination.
