Biedouw Valley

Biedouw Valley is a valley situated in the Western Cape province of South Africa at an elevation of 376 m. It is located near Pakhuis Pass,[1] between Clanwilliam and Uitspankraal.

The name, Biedouw, originates from the Khoi name for the poisonous Milkbush, Euphorbia mauritanica, which is common in the valley [2]
