Brandy Rock in Matale

Brandy Rock

Brandy Rock is a unique rock in Matale. It is 1130 meters high, has a unique shape, and resembles the Bible Rock (Batalegala). Wiltshire hides this rock at the foot of Knuckles Mountain. It is a well-known mountaineering area. This mountain can be seen from Alawatugoda on the A-9 road towards Matale (left side).

Villagers say it got its name because whites went there to drink brandy during the colonial era. Besides, it has recently been upgraded as another botanical garden affiliated to Peradeniya and has since been abandoned due to the influence of environmentalists. Backed up roads, planted flowering plants remain there. If it had been built as planned, it would not have taken long for this place to become a tourist attraction. Brandy Rock, a beautiful area where foreigners choose to spend their leisure time, got its name from the fact that foreigners used the place to drink “brandy”. In addition, it is also known as “Westminster Abbey”.

Madiwela village is located on a difficult road from Matale to Madiwela. This is what you can see in Madiwela village, which at times inherited a more beautiful rural environment than Meemure. The beautiful environment and going to the top of the brandy rock are sure to make your experience even more beautiful.
