HOPEFIELD

Hopefield was founded on the banks of the Zoute River in 1853 and was originally developed as a church community. Hopefield is situated on the R45, only 120km from Cape Town, in the heart of fynbos country with spectacular displays of wild flowers in and around the town. Thirteen kilometres west south west of Hopefield are fossil deposits on the farm Elandsfontein with a fossil display at the local Tourism Bureau in town.
