The Cliefden Caves are located on the Belubula River in Central Western New South Wales, between the towns of Carcoar and Canowindra. The limestone at Cliefden was the first discovered in inland Australia, and is the location of internationally recognised Ordovician fossil sites. The caves contain a wide variety of calcite formations which have been said to rival those at Jenolan Caves, these include rare blue calcite formations only seen at one other location in NSW. A warm spring is also located at Cliefden, being one of only three associated with caves in NSW.
