EXT. LOURENSFORD — CAPE TOWN · SUPPLIED

Lourensford as a filming location.

High ground above Somerset West: dirt tracks climbing through fynbos toward the Helderberg peaks, valley views that run to the sea, and — on the Graskop side — a plateau of granite boulders under moving cloud. Vehicle-accessible wilderness an hour from town.

● The short version

Lourensford is an estate in Somerset West photographed here across two grounds: the mountain tracks under the Helderberg range, and the Graskop plateau with its granite boulders and fynbos. The frames show 4x4-width dirt roads through the terrain. Access via Groundglass; enquiries through EXT. Oak Valley, a separate ground, is listed in the regional collection only.

● THE GROUNDWHAT THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW

Track, fynbos, granite.

GRD/01

The estate side

Graded dirt tracks — wide enough for vehicles in every frame — running through low fynbos with the Helderberg wall directly above. One elevated frame looks across the whole valley to a sea horizon: the drone shot, available from the ground.

GRD/02

The Graskop side

A different register on the same booking: rounded granite boulders the size of vehicles scattered across a plateau, sand paths between them, weather moving over the peaks behind. It plays as remote African highland; the frames show open terrain with no built structure in sight.
