Indeed, an abundance of magnificent stonemasonry throughout the town. Both the NG church and Anglican church are beautiful buildings. An impressive destination. Thank you.

Hi you two! Thank you for taking me on this sunny Sunday afternoon trip to Ladybrand under the blue skies! It really is a beautiful town with its long history. Those churches are special. With so many of its buildings made of stone, I'm sure it will still be there after another 100+ years. I am eagerly waiting for the next trip. Until then, Keep safe!

Wow! I am so enjoying my tour through the beautiful golden free state. Ladybrand is another place we often visited, in those days plenty of trains were running. Then we would go on to Ficksburg and Golden Gate. The stone buildings are awesome. Thank you for findingthe ex-station. The NDR church is so beautiful.

I agree this is a beautiful town with gorgeous buildings and well maintained gardens. 200 year old church....another one for your books. Not many of those

Dont miss Sandstone Estates for all tractor and train history between Fouriesburg and Ficksburg.❤

Ladybrand is definitely the Petermarzburg of the Freestate

Hi guys I wish a happy Easter 🐣. A couple of points I can relate to the 200 year old Catholic Church and the memorial I trained with the Royal fusiliers during basic training in the army made up of Northumberland and Worcestershire and City of London fusiliers (really struggled to understand the Northumberland boys accents lol 😆) plenty of nice architecture and a town hall my favourite houses with the stoop on the road .the huge NGK church was stunning and I'm always amazed they've built it in rural SA the entrance to Anglecan church is called a Lychgate . How quirky Chinese restaurant in a lovely stone building loved your accommodation. I agree with you very impressed with Lady Brand 👏 thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one

In September 1973 I attended a conference at St Augustines Priory in Modderpoort, just north of Ladybrand. On the internet I see that this is now guest accommodation etc. Had you "popped in" there, you would have seen more wonderful stone buildings. It really is impressive. If you are still in that area or will be returning to the Cape that way, you should give it a visit. You needn't make a video thereof, but just see it for your own benefit.

Thank you guys for sharing. I traveling this route while on my couch.

Glad u are back

One of the towns close to my last farm

These stone buildings are beautiful BUT living in a stone house is living in a fridge. 😂

Its about 30 since i was in Ladybrand, i only visited the place once. It was a bit of an Oasis, with its trees and greenery. The people there were universally nice. I had my mum and dad with me, iver from the UK and they found a lovely tea garden, my business that day was with the good folks from the Fruit Marketing board. By the way i noticed a Lt Guy Fawkes on the roll of honour in the anglican church- maybe some relation

Pity about the terrible tar roads but so nice to see the lovely countryside and the little dorpies with their places of interest..

What a beautiful guest house. So much love and beauty. Who would have thought to find such a lovely guest house in Ladybrand. Thank you for sharing.

The Chinese Restaurant, in a stunning location, is appropriately named for this episode released on Good Friday...I am glad to see that your stays are starting to be sponsored, its such a great marketing opportunity for them, especially as you're experienced in showcasing real estate, they're reaching thousands of eyeballs that might just decide to visit a place based solely on a particular guest house where you've stayed. We have already visited one of these awesome guest houses based on your channel. As a matter of interest is your Kwid also sponsored? Have a Happy and Blessed Easter and thanks for these videos. 😊

My Aunt and uncle stayed there. Last been there when i was 16, 32 years ago. My cousin married close to the pool. I see they still have the diving board😂. Would love to go back

Good old Ladybrand - drove through the town many a time to go too Lesotho! Thank you Sonia & Curtis for a very very nice reflection of Ladybrand and surrounds!

You miss the grave/monument of Antjie Scheepers at the NG Kerk, brave woman in the Louis Trichardt-trek. She lost her husband Gert and 4 of her 9 children. She survived the Delagoatrek, re-married and settle in Ladybrand district. Also birthplace of State president Nic Diedericks

Baie dankie Meneer en Mevrou.

My Home Town ❤️👌🏾

I think the Hotel you passed belonged to my uncle back in the 70s 80s

We did not see any schools, but a beautifull town😊

My dad used to call it Brandyland. My gran and grandpa lived there. She was effectively animal rescue and he was a leper doctor formerly working in Lesotho.

I hope you will be going to Clarens, I lived there for 8 years. Father Claerhout's art is in one of the galleries there.

Oh wow, we have been following your journey for a while now and actually live in Ladybrand. This is so awesome.

I grew up in Ladybrand, got married in the beautiful stone church in 1971, just a pity you guys did not had the pleasure to see Leliehoek , in my younger day it use to be the swimming pool with the most beautiful garden and a walkway up the mountain(Platberg). The whole town use to have big akertrees

Hi guys! Are you sure those are potholes. It looks more like a dirtroad with tar splotches..😆

Ladybrand, stad van de stenen gebouwen, prachtig. De Chinees op zondagavond, het lijkt wel Nederland 😅🍜, alles zag er heerlijk uit. En welverdiend na een lange dag waarin jullie ons weer veel toonden. Delville Wood, een mooi klein monumentje, de gevallen jongens ‘zag’ ik afgelopen zomer op de locatie zelf in Frankrijk waar alles uitmuntend wordt onderhouden. Sowieso goed om te zien dat in deze plaats zowel de Britten als de Boeren hun gesneuvelde jongens op verschillende wijzen in levende herinnering houden. Wat veel grote en kleine kerken hier en zo te zien in goed onderhouden staat, zoals deze stad mij sowieso wat dat betreft aangenaam verrast. Zelfs het verlaten trein station ziet eruit alsof er met een beetje inspanning met gemak weer een echte halte van gemaakt kan worden. Trouwens lijkt het zo of is je haar wat korter dan normaal? Zal wel fijn zijn gezien het mooie weer onderweg met bijhorende temperatuur 😃☀️. Enne …. hoe is de stand van zaken met de DustBugs ‘bedrijfskleding’ ? Gaan t-shirts en caps binnenkort in de aanbieding? 🇿🇦🐘🚂. Fijne Paasdagen samen 🐣🐥

Hi julle...kan jul asb Jagersfontein post...ASB

Thank you for this tour through Ladybrand, I found it very interesting, a thorough mix of everything and of course the stone buildings. The churches were of particular interest with their amazing stonemasonry and war memorials. The tree lined streets with European trees, but indigenous succulents are often seen. It wold be interesting to know when this was a thriving town with trains coming through and what brought about the settlement of this town. Was it primarily a farming town, or was there other sorts of industry that called for people to move here other than just a supply town. It’s quite big, so I’m thinking it can’t just be a farming town and what would be the chief source of farming out of town.
