Walk Around Historic Clyde
The walk begins at the dam end of Clyde where, sheltered from the severe winds, the first miners pitched their tents.
A memorial remembers those hardy men who endured the extremes of Central Otago’s climate: the harsh, sub-zero winters and the scorching, arid summers.
An additional guide to the walk is a series of plaques set into the pavements: Footprints in Time plaques record people who have contributed to Clyde’s development.
