An all girls weekend wandering took us to Montagu in the Boland region.\u00a0 The town was named after the former secretary of the Cape Colony, John Montagu.\u00a0 \u00a0It was also known as Agter Cogman\u2019s Kloof.<\/p>\n
With its picturesque setting Montagu is famous for the mineral springs nestled on the verge of the town, impressive rock formation as you drive westwards on the R62 towards Robertson, outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and rock climbing,\u00a0 good food and local wines and of course the Montagu Dried Fruit Company.<\/p>\n
