Traveling to Cove Park

Reflecting our Sustainable Travel Policy, we encourage residents and visitors to use public transport and to slow travel to Cove Park when possible.

By public transport

Trains run every half hour between Glasgow and our nearest town, Helensburgh. The journey time from Glasgow Queen Street to Helensburgh Central is approximately 45 minutes.

Trains also run from Glasgow Central to Gourock, where a connecting passenger ferry service makes the 15-minute crossing to Kilcreggan on the Rosneath Peninsula (excluding Sundays). Ferry tickets can be purchased onboard by card. Be careful not to catch the larger passenger ferry to Dunoon which leaves from the adjacent pier.

The onward journey to Cove Park can be made either by bus or local pre-booked taxi.

The bus stop for Cove Park is Peaton Hill/Ardpeaton. It is approximately 45 minutes via the 316 bus service from Helensburgh to this stop and eight minutes from the pier in Kilcreggan. Bus tickets can be purchased onboard by card. Please note, Peaton Hill is very steep, and it is a 10-minute walk from the bus stop to the site entrance. If help is required, please contact Cove Park in advance of your journey.
