Bedford lies in the Eastern Cape foothills of the Winterberg, proper farming country for merino sheep and Angora goats. The R63 brings you in from Adelaide and Cookhouse for a quick day trip, while Fort Beaufort and Somerset East sit a bit further along. Visitors from Joburg (903 km) usually time their trip for the well-known Bedford Garden Festival each October. Cradock Airport, 94 km away, is the nearest place to fly in, though most people just drive.
