Darling Attractions

|
Darling lies in the sandveld, as the 20-30km/12-18mi wide coastal strip north of Cape Town is called. The town was founded in 1853 and named after the then Governor of the Cape, Charles Darling.
Darling is famed for its show of color in spring, when the fields are carpeted with flowers. Southeast of the town is the Darling Flora Reserve, and there is another flora reserve on the Yzerfontein road (R 315). (The fields of flowers belong to farms and can be visited only at particular times: information from tourist office.)
The high point of Darling's year is the Wild Flower Show, held annually in the third week in September. Apart from its spring display of blossom Darling has no great features of tourist interest.
