Sir Lowry’s Pass, located in the Cape Helderberg region of South Africa’s Western Cape, is a dramatic mountain route that connects Somerset West to the lush Elgin Valley. Carved through the Hottentots Holland range, this scenic pass offers sweeping views over False Bay and is often cloaked in mist, adding to its mystique. Travellers can hike through mountain fynbos, spot diverse birdlife, and explore historic ox wagon trails. Nearby, the Elgin Valley bursts with orchards, vineyards, and forests, making it a haven for wine tasting, nature walks, and seasonal floral displays.
