Ladysmith is located on the banks of KwaZulu-Natal's
Klip River. Proclaimed in 1850, it was named after the
Spanish wife of Sir Harry Smith.
It became a prosperous staging- post for fortunehunters en route to the Transvaal gold- fields and
diamond discoveries at Kimberley. Ladysmith made
world headlines at the end of the 19th century when
it was besieged for 118 days during the most crucial
stage of the Anglo-Boer/South African War.
Its historic heritage is its main claim to fame, with
many fascinating sites to discover.
