Swinburne at the foot of Rensburgkop Mountain in the Free State province of South Africa is an important stop over for traffic between Johannesburg and Durban on the N3 highway. It has the second oldest bridge in the Free State which was opened 1884 and spans the Wilge River. Perched on the edge of the Drakensberg escarpment, it lies in beautiful Mountain country with Yellowwood forests, grassy plains and variable crisp mountain weather. Visitors can see the most unusually formed sandstone mesas and outcrops on the road between the town and Van Reenen. The Bald Ibis Hiking Trail, a very popular hike for visitors from Gauteng, starts in Swinburne. The own has only a very basic shop and a restaurant and pub known as the 'Hound and Hare'.
