About Byrne

Byrne is a tiny Midlands spot off the R56 between Pietermaritzburg and Ixopo, handy for folks doing the farm-stall and Midlands Meander circuit. Most who pass through are heading long distances, like the 421 km run from Ngcobo, rather than popping in for the day. Pietermaritzburg Airport is 50 km off, so charge up there if you're driving electric. Fun fact: Byrne was named after the 1850s British settler scheme that first put it on the map.
