Barkly West is a small town with a big history. This is the place where diamonds were first discovered in South Africa in 1869.

The Barkly West Museum is a treasure trove of information about the early history of alluvial diamond mining in South Africa.

Canteen Kopje, south of Barkly West, on the Vaal River, is a site of some of the first alluvial diamond diggings in South Africa.

Take a one hour drive north of Kimberley on the N12 to Hartswater, and you will find yourself in an agricultural eden.
