| At
the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains,
is an 80km meandering route, stretching
back to Pietermaritzburg. This is the Midlands
Meander, a picturesque trail which consists
of more than 160 places to shop, eat and
enjoy life. The Meander was started many
years ago by local artists and craftspeople
who gathered together to open their studios
and galleries to the public. It has since
grown into an eclectic collection of studios,
craft shops, country hotels, restaurants
and farm stalls, selling everything from
the finest pottery, art and leather goods
to home made cheeses and preserves. If you
are looking for something other than mass
produced goods dispensed out of concrete
malls, then this is the place for you. |
