Uncover the practical and scenic guide Garden Route Walks by Colin Paterson-Jones — a comprehensive companion for exploring the breathtaking trails of South Africa’s iconic Garden Route!

Published by Struik in 1992, this book serves as a detailed handbook to the region’s diverse walking paths, from coastal hikes along dramatic beaches and cliffs to inland forest trails, mountain routes, and nature reserves. Colin Paterson-Jones, a respected South African author and photographer known for his work on fynbos, wildflowers, and natural landscapes, provides clear descriptions of each walk, including distances, difficulty levels, terrain details, highlights of flora and fauna, historical notes, and practical tips for safe and enjoyable outings. Illustrated with his own evocative photographs and maps, it captures the Garden Route’s unique beauty — indigenous forests, lagoons, mountains, and ocean views — making it an essential resource for locals and visitors alike.

Ideal for hikers and nature lovers in South Africa (especially those in the Western Cape or planning a Garden Route trip), outdoor enthusiasts seeking well-described, accessible trails from easy strolls to more challenging day hikes, travelers wanting authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences in the region between Mossel Bay and Storms River, and anyone who appreciates guides blending practical info with stunning visuals of fynbos, wildlife, and scenic wonders — perfect for trip planning, packing in your backpack, or armchair dreaming of the next adventure!
