Blythswood is a former Presbyterian mission station near Butterworth. Named after Captain Matthew T Blyth, first Chief Magistrate of the Transkei. It is an important education centre.[2]
The Nqamakwe rock art site, showcasing some example of Khoisan rock art, is relatively close to the settlement.[3]
