There are two reasons to visit Rorke's Drift Battlefield and Museum. 1) It boasts the best field museum on the Battlefields Route. The detailed diorama and displays tell how 100 British soldiers held off some 4,000 Zulu warriors for 12 hours earning 11 Victoria Cross at the Battle which ran through the night of 22nd to 23rd January 1879. 2) The ELC Art and Craft Centre, located next door, is a great place to browse for tapestries, pottery, textiles and beadwork.
