Description: The aim of this brochure is to provide a reasonably comprehensive guide to Grahamstown and its environs. The area has much to offer the person who is prepared to explore and to observe the many facets offered by the human and physical landscapes. It is hoped that the sections on the development of the town and selected historical aspects, the geology, the vegetation, the mammals and the birds will provide sufficient information for the region to be seen and appreciated as a whole, while still leaving room for new discoveries. The interrelationships between geology, altitude, vegetation and the use of the land form a valuable starting point in the study of the countryside. In the towns the buildings and the street grids often help to unravel complex aspects of growth and development. These are some of the features which can be observed on the recommended excursion routes. If the brochure contributes to a greater understanding, and therefore appreciation, of Grahamstown and its environs its purpose will have been fulfilled.
