Beautiful Bedford is famous for its annual Bedford Country Gardens, when farms and townhouses across the region open their exquisite gardens to visitors and garden lovers from across the country. Adelaide is a charming rural town nestled in the foothills of the Winterberg mountains and offers a quiet escape into the heart of the Karoo frontier.
What to do in and around Bedford and Adelaide
Bedford is located at the foot of the well-forested Kaga Mountain and the beauty of Bedford is in its natural surroundings and its people: rose-lovers will want to visit the rose arboretum, those looking for rejuvenation can attend cooking and yoga workshops, and there’s nowhere better to be inspired to plant more flowers, vegetables, and herbs in your own home. Adelaide is situated at the foothills of the Great Winterberg mountain range, 22 kilometres east of Bedford.
