Pilgrim's Rest |
||
|
Pilgrim’s Rest is a living museum and a replica of the early gold-mining town. The Alanglade House Museum offers guided tours of the former mine manager’s house, while the Diggings Museum just outside the town arranges guided tours of goldpanning activities. This area was the setting for Jock of the Bushveld, the novel by Sir Percy Fitzpatrick about the experiences of a man and his dog as they shared adventures in the world of African goldmining. The Dredzen Shop Museum consists of a store stocked with a range of items in use nearly a century ago. The Pilgrim’s Rest Festival is held annually in December. Mount Sheba Nature Reserve, south of Pilgrim’s Rest, is best known for its indigenous forest – one of few left in the region. There are excellent trout-fishing, hiking and mountain biking venues in the area. |
