Description

The Ceres district consists of three diverse areas and each has its own unique charm and landscapes: The ‘Warm Bokkeveld’ is a wide fertile valley and is the centre of one of the richest agricultural regions of the Western Cape. 9 km north of Ceres, at the foot of the Gydo Pass, is Prince Alfred’s Hamlet – the hub of the potato and onion packing industry. Bo-Swaarmoed, east of Ceres, is famous for its cherry picking in season, snow during winter, proteas, and breathtaking panoramic views of the valley. The ‘Koue Bokkeveld’ is a mountainous area situated on a plateau and can be reached on the R303 from Ceres via the Gydo Pass and from the N7 via Citrusdal. This is a fruit (apple and pear) and vegetable producing area, with the small village of Op-die-Berg in the centre.
