The best part of the journey from Cape Town to Worcester, 110km east, is taking the Huguenot Toll Tunnel on the N1, burrowing through high mountains that give onto a magnificent valley.
Worcester, a relatively large town for this part of the world, is an agricultural centre with a number of factories and smelly chicken farms.
It's at the centre of a wine-making region, consisting mostly of cooperatives producing bulk plonk plonk that makes up about a fifth of national output.

The Karoo Botanic Gardens, sister reserve to Kirstenbosch in Cape Town, is known for its show of indigenous spring flowers and succulents, and is a worthwhile place to stop, have a walk to admire the mountain backdrop, and recharge at the pleasant Kokerboom restaurant.

The absorbing Worcester Museum depicts life on the Karoo frontier between 1690 and 1900, and is made up of about two dozen reconstructed buildings, with staff in old-style workshops engaged in crafts and home industries.
Keep a lookout in particular for the corbelled shepherd's hut, which represents a vernacular style unique to the Karoo, using domed stone roofs rather than beam and lintel construction - a response to the dearth of timber in the treeless expanse.
