Description

Essentials about Newlands Forest in brief

Located on the eastern slope of Table Mountain, Newlands Forest is known to only a few tourists. The nature park is all the more popular with the locals. It’s a great place to get away from it all and hike, walk, jog, picnic or walk the dog in the shade of the trees. And if you are interested in trees, you will find a wide range of native but also foreign tree species in Newlands Forest.

Hiking and picnicing in Newlands Forest

More than 100 different hiking trails lead to the summit of Table Mountain from all directions. The four trails starting from Newlands Forest are certainly among the most beautiful and, above all, shadiest. So if you are looking for a somewhat cooler ascent to Table Mountain, you would be well advised to start in Newlands Forest. By the way, the hiking trails have different levels of difficulty (from easy to moderate).

If you don’t want to climb Table Mountain right away, you can also just go for a walk or have a picnic in Newlands Forest. There are a number of designated picnic areas, some of which allow barbecues.
