19 You don’t want to miss out on discovering the rich history and gems hidden in the small village of Henley on Klip. Discover all this through a Heritage Tour which guides visitors through the village, discovering places like the Olde Haunte (certified as a haunted house) which was built soon after the Boer War.
Yes, the village dates back to 1904 and offers not only the notable history to be discovered but it is also home to 10 places where you can enjoy a meal or something to drink. The tour starts at About Time where you can buy your tour guide at R50 with proceeds going to the Henley Lions Club.
Follow the route of about 14km and closer to 24km if you do all the loops. Cycling is the most fun but driving will also do, and if you have the legs for it, you can even walk it.
