Clifden Caves, Eastern Bush 9682, Southland Region, New Zealand
The Clifden Caves are one of only a few cave systems in Southland. The caves are located approximately one kilometre north-east of the Clifden – Blackmount corner on Clifden Gorge Road. The caves entrance is signposted from the road and parking is available adjacent to the entrance.
The Clifden Caves provide a natural habitat for the glow worm, which requires a damp environment with little or no wind.
