Winterton is the gateway to the Central Drakensberg and accommodation is ideal for those wishing to explore the central Drakensberg. Winterton was laid out on 3 farms in 1905 and was sold by the Natal Government to soldiers, in recognition of their service during the Anglo Boer War and was named after the Minister of Agriculture in Natal, Mr. HD Winter.
The Winterton Museum is well worth visiting. It has a fascinating display on the history of farming in the area, the early inhabitants and the Anglo Boer War. Artifacts and copies of the art of the San people or Bushmen as they are also known as, features strongly, with excellent explanations of their lifestyle and how this was portrayed in their art. The battles of Spioenkop and Vaalkrans are given priority due to the close proximity of the battlefields to Winterton.
