Bishop's
Seat is a beautiful clearing in the forest where
one of the early Bishops of Eshowe, Bishop W M Carter,
would come to ponder his next sermon. It is now used as
a venue for outdoor functions as well as an amphitheatre
for the 'The Forest Noël' which the people of Eshowe
present every three years.
Royal
Drive is a picturesque drive on a gravel road
through the forest and was specially cleared for the British
Royal Family's visit to Eshowe in 1947.
