Literary Walking Tour of Old Cradock with Brian Wilmot, curator of Olive Schreiner House
The eternally charming Die Tuishuise & Victoria Manor in Cradock is the perfect base from which to explore the frontier town of Cradock. More than 2 dozen elegantly restored cottages line Market Street up to the stately Victoria Manor - a grand old hotel reminiscent of the time of Cecil John Rhodes, Olive Schreiner and the adventurers who have passed through over the last 150 years.
A Literary Walking Tour of Old Cradock’, written and led by Brian Wilmot, Curator of Schreiner House Museum, takes one on a gentle stroll through the historic heart of Cradock – and here is the difference – it includes regular stops for readings from respected, Cradock-raised writers, including Olive Schreiner, Guy Butler, Iris Vaughan and Neville Alexander.
