The little hamlet of Herold lies almost halfway between George and Oudtshoorn offering not only peaceful tranquility and serene contemplation, but access to both the coastal and inland attractions of the Klein Karoo, Garden Route and Langkloof.  The area overflows with outdoor activities such as bird watching, hiking, fishing, camping and mountain biking and there are also guided hikes up the nearby Cradock and George mountain peaks.  Some of the original village buildings of Herold are now incorporated on one of the guest farms in Herold, whilst the remains of what was once the blacksmith’s shop, which dates back to the 1860s, is visible from the Montagu Pass.
