Silvermine Nature Reserve

Why it’s worth it

Silvermine is the quieter, wilder part of Table Mountain National Park, and the reservoir walk is the easy way in. The route to the water includes boardwalk, fine gravel and concrete, with designated parking and an accessible toilet, which is unusual for a mountain outing. Take layers: it is cooler and windier up here than at the coast.
