Dargle Valley - Natal Midlands

The Dargle Valley and conservancy area is set in the midst of the Midlands Meander in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg

Dargle is an area South West of the N3 and is accessed from Lions River off the R103. Dargle Valley is located between Fort Nottingham, Lions River and Boston The Dargle is a beautiful valley, carefully nurtured and protected by the residents, it comprises a farmland charm and wilderness flavour. Amidst the beauty of the area the people here have warm hearts and a tenderness similar to the natural flora. Dargle provides a perfect natural retreat in wide open spaces.

The Dargle Valley and conservancy area part of the Midlands Meander as well as the the Southern Drakensberg and boston bulwer beat. The Dargel Valley is a land of waterfalls, river gorges, grassland, indigenous forest, wild flowers and wetlands; home to a variety of bird species and a major attraction to the fishing enthusiast - the area around Dargle, Fort Nottingham and Balgowan, is renowned for excellent fly-fishing.

The Dargle Valley experiences dry, cold winters - sometimes with snow - and hot, wet summers with intermittent late afternoon thunder storms followed by heavy rains. No surprise then that the countryside has sprawling wattle and pine forests, and rock pools that invite closer scrutiny.
