Chelmsford Dam — Attraction in Newcastle Local Municipality

My family and I have been coming here for decades. Despite the sometimes erratic weather where a perfectly sunny day can turn windy & rainy in a heartbeat, the beautiful scenery and peaceful view of zebra and guinea fowl grazing away in the fields is enough to shrug off the stresses of life and just enjoy time with family 💖 we've been coming here for decades, and we have an endless array of happy memories, breakfast braai's, lazy lunches, and fishing rods casted in but soon forgotten in the relaxation of this place... If you're new to NN, visit Chelmsford, I promise it will soon become a staple visit that you and your family will enjoy again and again إِنْ شَاءَ...
