Clyde

A small town in Central Otago, Clyde is tucked into a sheltered basin at the foot of a gorge now flooded by a large concrete hydro-dam. Born out of the 1860’s gold rush, Clyde is a historic precinct. Many of the original buildings continue to stand and have become iconic to the town. Located in an area renowned first for gold, then for it’s stone fruit orchards, Clyde is a popular summer destination due to it’s hot, dry days and the addition of renowned wineries in the surrounding regions.
