The Amble (Albert Falls arts and Crafts meander) includes Bi

The Amble was stablished in October 1997. The tourism initiative centered on the Albert Falls and takes advantage of attractions and activities in the Albert Falls area immediately north-east of Pietermaritzburg. A popular landmark in Umvoti County, the initiative is spreading and now includes the historic locations of Bishopstowe, Cramond, Dalton, New Hanover, Wartburg, Hermannsburg and Kranskop.

The bird life is prolific with an abundance of water birds and other species, and there are several trails along the Amble worth exploring. It is not by chance that the fish eagle is the emblem of the Albert Falls Amble, as its unique cry can be heard throughout the area. For those lazy days there are picnic areas, tea gardens and animal farms. Whilst ambling, the Albert Falls region is a popular day trip for visitors to Pietermaritzburg, there are several hotels, a host of bed and breakfasts establishments, self-catering units, as well as camping and caravanning sites.
