Catch your breath in a charming village atmosphere
CatherineReichardt Says: South Africa excels in many aspects of tourist attraction, but it seldom does 'charming villages' very well. Thus, the sleepy hollow of Bathurst is a delightful discovery, especially for those who have been haring around, trying to make the most of their time in South...
Another strong candidate for Little Boy Heaven!
CatherineReichardt Says: The Bathurst Agricultural Museum is an absolute gem and yet another strong candidate for Little Boy Heaven (along with the Outeniqua Transport Museum, The Rand Society of Model Engineers Model Railway in Johannesburg and the Science Centre at Canal Walk in Cape Town - see my...
mvtouring Says: Open 7 days a week, this is a lovely little shop where you can buy fairies, gnomes, toys and many more
mvtouring Says: This shop is where you will find great pottery from Richard Pullin . Some very interesting pieces here, the most inventive item in the shop is the älways dry" salt pot which does not have any holes in the top.
mvtouring Says: A lovely shop, where they sell some great paintings and other works of art. I loved the "dragon"that was on the stoep. It is an old plowing instrument, that some very clever person changed into the dragon.
mvtouring Says: You will find Pat at the end of the road on the way to the rainbow. This is also where you will meet the Bathurst Fairies. Pat makes the most beautiful T-shirts and the most reasonable prices. R120 for a hand painted, hand dyed T-shirt is a steal!
mvtouring Says: Not a big variety, but the owner makes up for it. A charming lady that really tries to assist you when you enter her shop.
mvtouring Says: A very famous pub in this area. This National monument was built in 1821 as the Bathurst hotel originally. It has changed a lot since my last visit and unfortunately has lost all its old world charm. I do not think it has any character left. A big pity.
mvtouring Says: This lovely little garden can be visited if you keep your eyes open and notice the sign from the back room of the shop next to the bookshop.No parking or entrance fee.
mvtouring Says: They claim it is the biggest pineapple in the world. Standing 16.7 meters tall it is constructed of fiberglass which covers the steel and concrete superstructure. The ground floor houses the gift shop (not that it was well stocked). The first floor offers a pictorial display...
PEE-WEE Says: On a hill overlooking the whole district of Albany -- from the sea almost to Grahamstown -- a cairn has been built and a toposcope, to commemorate the fact that it was from here that settler parties were sent out to designated areas. The toposcope bit tells you by means of...

THE PIG & WHISTLE ,BATHURST.: THE OLDEST PIG IN THE CAPE.
PEE-WEE Says: the Pig and Whistle in Bathurst, the very heart of settler country in Lower Albany. Built in 1832 and licensed in 1836, it has never closed it's doors. Now that's what I call a living monument in the English tradition: a free house for free men.
