HELLO Autumn

Visit Helensburgh & Lomond in the autumn!

Only 45 minutes by train from Glasgow, and within easy reach of both the west coast and central belt of Scotland, Helensburgh & Lomond is the ideal location for an Autumn visit.

Visit the gardens at Glenarn, or explore Geilston Garden and Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House (both National Trust for Scotland).
Have an adventure on one of the local trails like the John Muir Way and Three Lochs Way or Argyll Sea Kayak Trail – you can even go munro-bagging!
Take a boat trip on the Clyde and get up close to the wreck of the Sugar Boat or hire a boat and explore the lovely Loch Goil.
Browse in our unique shops, or relax in fabulous cafés and restaurants.
