Alternative to South West Highway Donnybrook-Kirup via upper capel road. Distance thirty kilometres. Drive south from the Donnybrook Tourist Information Centre for half a kilometre then take Capel turn off on right hand side. Turn left at Emerald Street, upper Capel Road one kilometre on the left. Drive terminates at Kirup on South West Highway.
Four kilometres along upper Capel Road is situated a stone quarry from which Donnybrook stone is recovered. Also in this area are old goldmine workings. These workings are difficult to find and require some exploration of the road. Please take care.
Eleven kilometres will bring you to the old site of English Field School. The site is marked. This drive is very picturesque passing through orchards, dairying areas and tree-line slopes. Areas such as Fry's flats are kept green all year round through water provided from large irrigation dams.
