Lady Grey is an extraordinary small town in the Witteberg Mountains of the northeastern Eastern Cape — a highland settlement at over 1,600m surrounded by dramatic rocky mountain scenery that rivals anything in the Drakensberg foothills. The 28km Mountain Loop tackles the rocky Witteberg terrain on technical singletrack and gravel roads with panoramic views toward Lesotho.

What to Expect

Rocky singletrack and gravel roads on mountainous terrain with significant elevation change. The Witteberg Mountains provide dramatic rocky features — cliff faces, boulder fields and narrow ridge traverses that make this genuinely technical advanced riding. Views from the upper sections extend across the northeastern Eastern Cape toward the Drakensberg and Lesotho highlands.

Lady Grey’s Character

Lady Grey is a beloved destination for artists, writers and mountain enthusiasts — a village of authentic character with good accommodation and the genuine remoteness of the high mountain interior.

Getting There

Lady Grey is on the R58 in the northeastern Eastern Cape. GPS: -30.7123, 27.2234.
