A Trail for Everyone

The Route: From Mountain to Ocean
The Liesbeek River, one of South Africa’s oldest urban waterways, originates on Table Mountain above Kirstenbosch. From there, it flows down through Bishopscourt and Newlands, where you’ll find:
🚶 The Fernwood Trail – A paved walkway ideal for casual walks and families
🌿 Bishopscourt Village Park – A popular picnic spot with beautiful views
🎠 Paradise Road Playground – A family-friendly stop with a children’s play area
As you continue towards Mowbray and Observatory, the trail transforms into a more natural, peaceful route, passing historical landmarks like Josephine Mill and the Two Rivers Urban Park, where the Liesbeek meets the Black River.
