Hopefield is largely defined by flowers, birdlife and farming, together with a history steeped in archaeological finds...

Fossil deposits from Elandsfontein are on display at the tourism bureau, together with a cast of Saldanha Man.Wheat and sheep farming continue to feature as the town´s mainstay. Honey farming, in turn, is fuelled by the bees´ attraction to the sweet fynbos flowers - 500 species in all!Each spring, the green winter wonderland is transformed to an overnight spectacle of blindingly bright indigenous daisies and fynbos.It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Hopefield hosts an annual spring wildflower show, which takes place every August. Budding botanists will also likely find their feet (not to mention their soul) on the Kerschboschfontein Walking Trail or the Heldervlei Hiking Trail. Apply foot to pedal on the Kopervlei 4x4 Trail.
