Bergville

Bergville is the Gateway to the Northern Drakensberg

Bergville is a small town of South Africa and is know as the gateway to the Northern Drakensberg. Bergville hosts an office of the Drakensberg Publicity Association. The third Friday of each month sees the local cattle sales. Less than 50km from the towering Amphitheatre of Royal Natal, this ideally-situated agricultural and trading centre of Bergville 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 Bergville Court House.

Between Bergville and the Royal Natal National Park is the Zulu handicraft center of Thandanani that sells a variety of traditional beadwork, woodwork and baskets.

Not far from Bergville is the Spioenkop Battlefield and Dam resort and the Rangeworthy Cemetery that holds the graves of those killed in the battles of Spioenkop and Bastion Hill.
