Worcester
South Africa
Ringed by dramatic mountain passes — including Du Toitskloof, Bainskloof, and the Hex River Mountains — Worcester is the largest inland town in the Western Cape, sitting within the Breede River catchment area a few hours' drive northeast of Cape Town. The town functions as the commercial and administrative hub of the Breede Valley, and the surrounding mountain ranges make it a practical base for exploring the Western Cape interior.
