Information About

Pilgrim's Rest




Pilgrim's Rest was the location of an emergency Mint during the Second Boer War . This mint struck the famous and extremely rare Veld Pond.

Also at the graveyard, every single grave was laid facing in the same direction, except for the famous Robber's Grave which is laid perpendicular to the rest, emblazened simply with a cross and the large type words of Robbers Grave. It is as the name suggests the grave of a robber who was shot stealing from the gold mines.
