Millwood Goldfields, located in the Goudveld (Jubilee Creek) area of the Knysna section of the Garden Route National Park, was the site of a short-lived gold rush in the late 1880s. The area, once a bustling mining village, is now a ghost town with remnants of the past, including the Bendigo Mine and a graveyard. Visitors can explore the area, learn about the history at the Millwood Goldmine Museum.
