The Drakensberg - Soul of the Zulu Kingdom | |||||
| |||||
BergvilleLess than 40km from the towering Amphitheatre of Royal Natal National Park, this ideally situated agricultural and trading centre was laid out in 1897 by a retired sea captain. British forces built a blockhouse in the settlement two years later at the onset of the Anglo-Boer War - that building is now a Monument and Museum within the grounds of the local Court House.
The nearby Rangeworthy Military Cemetery contains graves of British soldiers killed in the battles of Spioenkop and Bastion Hill. It's on private land, however, and the farmer's permission should be sought before venturing in. Historical & Cultural Attractions | |||||
