Area Info

Just west of the N10 between Cradock and Cookhouse lies the settler town of Bedford on the southern edge of the Winterberg mountain range.

It lies in what is termed the smaldeel, probably Dutch for 'small section', as it refers to a rather narrow strip of particularly sweet grasses that runs from Fort Beaufort to Somerset East. This burst of colour and ripe vegetation lies just outside of the Karoo, not even two hours' from Port Elizabeth.

Views from the town are breathtaking, surrounded as the town is by the Kaga Mountain. What you might not know is that, as a result, Bedford has something of a microclimate all its own. It also has access to its own source of water from the mountain, so gardens (give or take a drought or two) are usually spectacular.
