This walk takes you to an extremely popular eating spot nestled in an orchard.

Start at the Rail Trail headquarters at the corner of the main state highway and Springvale Road. There is plenty of parking available there. Walk along the rail trail and cross Young Lane and, shortly after, the Muttontown Viaduct. Not far after that watch for the sign on the left to the Orchard Garden. Take the turn off and walk through the orchards to the cafe.

Pause there for refreshment before continuing out past the cafe to Dunstan Road. Turn left and follow Dunstan Road to the T intersection where you turn left into Springvale Road which you follow back to the parking space at the Trail Trail. Along the way you'll pass the historic Clyde Cemetery which is well worth a visit.

The red circle on the map indicates the starting point. You can, of course start your walk from anywehere along the track.

A green rectangle on some maps indicates an important feature (e.g. a lookout)

'Easy' walks involve no strenuous uphill or downhill.

'Moderate' walks may well involve the odd steep pinch.

'Hard' walks will involve quite a bit of uphill work.

Remember that, at times, you may be passing through private property. Please respect this. Remember when passing through a gate to leave it as you found it. If it was shut then shut it after you. If it was open then leave it open.

Clyde is very dog friendly but we work hard to keep it that way. Don't let your dog scare other kept animals (e.g. sheep, hens etc). Remove any dog messages of the solid variety.

These are not, of course, the only walks around Clyde. There are many others, including the official 'Walk Around Clyde', following the brochure produced by Promote Dunstan.
