Walking and Hiking
Explore the Beauty of the Farm on Foot!
Take a leisurely stroll or embark on an invigorating hike as you immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the farm. Wander around the tranquil ponds, follow the path to the natural spring, and Pidwiddly Dam. For those eager to discover hidden treasures, explore remnants of the past, including Anglo Boer War forts, or venture towards cascading waterfalls and meandering streams.
Choose from two designated hiking trails:
Ereipio Trail (2km) – Greek noun meaning "Ruin," a scenic route through nature
Nerolakkos Trail (3.6km) – Greek noun meaning "Waterhole," leading you to serene water features and breathtaking landscapes.
Or simply let your feet guide you, roaming freely across the farm and soaking in the breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings. Walking sticks are available at the office for your convenience.
Come and experience the serenity, history, and natural wonders that await you
