NEWCASTLE - the commercial and industrial hub of the Amajuba District and Northern Kwazulu Natal.
Newcastle nestles in a curve of the Drakensberg escarpment, surrounded by beautiful hills and valleys on one side and the rolling landscape of Kwazulu Natal on the other.
It is surrounded by the historical battlefields of the Zulu and Anglo Boer Wars and +- 90km from the Blood River and Ncome Museums.
In the area is also Mount Prospect cemetary and O'Neill's Cottage where the peace treaty was signed.
Utrecht - "the town within a game park" is 50km en route to Blood River.
Majuba Mountain where the world famous Battle of Majuba took place on 27 February 1881, is 30km
en route to Volksrust. For a small entrance fee you will find a Museum, youth lodge, camping and picnic fascilities. From the campsite there are foot paths to the top of the mountain.
