Bathurst, Eastern Cape
Bathurst is about 12 kilometres inland from Port Alfred, on the road to Grahamstown, in the Eastern Cape province. Its chief claim to fame is that it was the administrative centre for the 1820 British Settlers who were established in the district as a buffer between the Cape Colony and the Xhosa pastoralists who were migrating southwards and westwards along the coast.
