The farming heart of South Africa - chiefly notable for its place in the Boer War, the rich sandstone of Golden Gate and fields of sunflowers
Free State
Free State's central location in the Republic tends to see it passed through or passed by altogether. The landscape is generally flat, dry and remarkable mainly for its featureless uniformity.
However, the red and yellow rock cliffs of Golden Gate national park are well worth a visit with a stopover at Clarens, well known as for its local concentration of arts and crafts, good food and a well kept golf course.
From a historical perspective, Free State is chiefly notable as a bastion of the Old Boer republic with numerous battlefield sites of the Anglo-Boer War at the end of the 19th Century.
Bloemfontein is a major centre, frequently playing host to national sports teams. As such, it provides a comfortable base with bars & restaurants around its own central Waterfront and good accommodation.
