    General Tips: SEYMOUR.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Beneath the slopes of the Katberg and Elandsberg ranges, a military stronghold was built in 1862 known as Elands Post.

    In this handsome setting a village grew, sheltered by the little fort.

    The village lies close to the Kat River Dam and is an agricultural centre and terminus of a branch railway from Fort Beaufort.
