Early morning, nature beckons. Just 75m from the gate, are a variety of walks in the beautifully maintained Clarens Nature Reserve. Follow a trail along the river to the dam or summit the top of the mountain and enjoy breath-taking views. Remember to scan the QR-code on the information board at any of the entrances and support the Clarens Village Conservancy that manages the Reserve.
