On the Lynn Glen Fairy Trail
The trail, adorned with whimsical fairy houses and colourful markers, will spark kids’ imaginations. You can send them on a treasure hunt, looking for the hidden fairies among the trees.

The trail itself is quite manageable, making it perfect for families with kids and those who aren’t as fit. Strolling through lush greenery, the gentle sound of the flowing river accompanied us.

The path features fun educational signs that share interesting facts about local wildlife and plants, making it an informative experience.
After a leisurely walk, I was rewarded by the sight of the stunning waterfall. The water cascaded beautifully over the rocks, creating a serene atmosphere that felt like a fairytale setting.

I took countless photos, trying to capture the moment’s magic. It was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the natural beauty.
How To Get Here
Only 40-50 minutes from Glasgow, the Lynn Glen Fairy Trail is an easy drive, with a small car park that fills up quickly.
Direct ScotRail trains run about every 30 minutes and take about 30 minutes to get there.
Direct Stagecoach buses run less frequently, but take longer, at 50 minutes to 1 hour, and are cheaper.
Conclusion
If you’re considering a family day out, with friends or just by yourself, I can’t recommend Lynn Glen Fairy Trail enough. It offers a perfect blend of fun, adventure, and learning opportunities for kids and adults alike. Whether you fancy a quiet day in nature or a magical quest for fairies, this place has it all. Pack a picnic, your favourite snacks, and don’t forget your camera!
