Come run with us and discover the hidden trail on Naval hill passing various historical landmarks.
Naval Hill has always been a very prominent landmark in the Free State in general and in Bloemfontein in particular. It is known as an important focal for historical, cultural, and natural objects. Naval Hill is probably the most important historical feature of Bloemfontein" The White Horse on the eastern slopes had been described as the only feature of this kind outside Wiltshire in the United Kingdom. Other features on top of the summit include the Lamont-Hussey Observatory, the caretaker's house, and several communication masts. It is alleged that the base of the original gallows where death sentences were executed during the 19th century is still to be found in Hangman's Kloof. A major part of the area falls inside the Franklin Game Reserve where various species of game are kept. The sumrnit of Naval Hill contains numerous remains of the Anglo-Boer War and other features dating from the past. Remains of earlier trinitary activities occur in the form of remains of corrugated iron buildings, concrete foundations, reservoir dams and irrigation furrows, stone terrace walls and steps. "
