The
Amble (Albert Falls arts and Crafts meander)
Established
in October 1997, the tourism initiative centered on the Albert Falls takes
advantage of attractions and activities in the area immediately north-east
of the city. A popular landmark in Umvoti County, the initiative is spreading
and now includes the historic locations of Bishopstowe,
Cramond, Dalton,
New Hanover,
Wartburg, Hermannsburg
and Kranskop.
The
bird life is prolific with an abundance of water birds and other species,
and there are several trails worth exploring.
It
is not by chance that the fish eagle is the emblem of the Albert Falls
Amble, as its unique cry can be heard throughout the area.
For
those lazy days there are picnic areas, tea gardens and animal farms.
Whilst ambling, the Albert Falls region is a popular day trip for visitors
to Pietermaritzburg,
there are several hotels, a host of bed and breakfasts establishments,
self-catering units, as well as camping and caravanning sites.
