Walking New Zealand

Alexandra to Clyde River Track

-

This area is special and regarded as an ‘outside museum’ so please admire but do not touch. The Tailings are protected and are on conservati­on land.

Linger for a while in the delightful historic township of Clyde – it is well worth a visit. Take time to browse the local shops, stop for an ice cream or a coffee from a local cafe before commencing your journey back to Alexandra, either back along the river track, or you can link to the Otago Central Rail Trail.

The rail trail is a shorter, more direct route (only 9km) taking you past orchards, vineyards and farmland. Orchard Gardens and Hintons Estate Cellar Door offer a leisurely break enroute or just take time to admire the stunning views of the Old Man Range.
