Conveniently located on the Midlands Meander, Howick Falls is one of the most dramatic natural sights on The Midlands and is well worth the effort of going to see. Normally a single fall of water, it tumbles over the edge of a horseshoe gorge, crashing into a deep pool 95 metres below. Legend tells of murders and suicides at the falls and of a mythical giant serpent that lives in the pool, which only the local sangomas (traditional healers) can placate. It gives the place a sense of mystery that only adds to the dramatic scenery
