Discover the Scenic Beauty of Woodcutters Trail

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from the center of Cape Town and head towards Table Mountain National Park. Take the M3 highway and follow the signs to Table Mountain. Once you enter the park, look for the signs directing you to the Woodcutters Trail. The trailhead is accessible via the Constantia Nek road. There is parking available near the trailhead; however, be sure to check for any parking fees, which can vary. Make sure to arrive early to secure a parking spot, especially during weekends.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take the MyCiTi bus service from Cape Town city center. Board the bus heading to Hout Bay and get off at the Constantia Nek stop. From there, you can either walk to the Woodcutters Trail or arrange for a taxi or rideshare service for a short drive to the trailhead if you have heavy gear. Note that the bus fare is relatively inexpensive, but ensure you have a MyCiTi card loaded with enough credit for your journey.

• Walking from Constantia Nek

  If you find yourself at Constantia Nek and prefer walking, the Woodcutters Trail is approximately a 15-minute walk from the Constantia Nek parking area. Follow the signs that lead to the trailhead; it’s well marked. The path is clearly defined, and you will enjoy beautiful scenery along the way.
