Barrydale is a village located on the border of the Overberg and Klein Karoo regions of the Western Cape Province in South Africa. Named after James Barry, it is situated at the northern end of the Tradouw's pass which winds its way through the mountains to Swellendam.
Barrydale and the surrounding area is rich in species diversity with abundant wildlife such as baboons, genets, mongooses, Klipspringer (small khaki-coloured antelope often seen perched on rocks), and Rock Hyraxes, known locally as Dassies (the closest relatives of elephants). More elusive animals, such as porcupines, aardvarks, jackals, otters and the reclusive leopards, are occasionally seen in the mountains.
