A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Clytha from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"CLYTHA, a hamlet in Llanarth parish, Monmouth[shire]; on the river Usk, 5½ miles SE of Abergavenny. Acres: 1,841. Real property: £2,993. Population: 354. Houses: 72. Clytha House, the seat of W. Jones, Esq., is a handsome free-stone edifice, with Ionic portico; and contains some good pictures. A building, called the Castle, on an adjacent hill, is a family mausoleum, erected in 1790; and commands a splendid view of the vale of Usk. Charities, £54."

Clytha is a hamlet and historical area in Monmouthshire, Wales. It lies just off the A40 road, to the south of Llanarth and west of Raglan. It contains Clytha Park and Clytha Castle and Llanarth Estate Office, Ty Gwynt and Pit House. Great House, Clytha is a Grade II listed building.

Clytha became a separate civil parish, independent of Llanarth, late in the 19th century. Clytha is its Welsh name which translates into English as Cleidda.

In 1935, in a move to reduce the number of parishes within Abergavenny Rural District, Clytha was absorbed into the civil parish of Llanarth Fawr.
