Bredasdorp
The bread basket.
Situated 25km north of Cape Agulhas, Bredasdorp is a centre for wool, grain and dairy farming and lying in the heart of the Overberg, you’ll certainly know that you are in the “bread basket” of Africa...
Founded in 1838, Bredasdorp was named after the father of South Africa’s merino sheep industry and Cape Town's first major, Michael van Breda.
An interesting visit.
One of the highlights of Bredasdorp is the maritime museum which is home to many of the shipwrecks this coastline has caused - the most famous of these being the HMS Birkenhead. This fantastic Shipwreck Museum is well worth visiting and open Mon-Fri 9am - 4.45pm; Sat 9am-1pm; Sun (in summer) 11-12.30am. Tel: (02841) 41240.
