The Block is a mountain feature in the Garden Castle area, visible in the high skyline from around Lakes Cave in Cobham. That view is useful for recognising the landscape; the cave walk does not include an ascent of The Block.

Explore the Garden Castle area: Garden Castle is part of the southern uKhahlamba-Drakensberg landscape, with high grasslands, rocky slopes and river valleys. A visit can be planned around the wider reserve as well as individual mountain features. Read our Garden Castle Nature Reserve guide for more about the area and planning a visit.
