Bartons Folly Trout and Nature Retreat is situated between two mountains in the beautiful Hekpoort area near Magaliesberg, offering the ideal self-catering venue and fishing escape. The Trout Dam is surrounded by high cliffs and fed by a perennial mountain stream. The dams are well-stocked and the method of angling is catch and release. If an eagle were to fly over the Witwatersberg, with the mighty Magaliesberg to the west, it would see an old English blockhouse defending the break in the mountains which de la Rey and his men named Hekpoort.
