To reach Larch View by car, from Glasgow and Glasgow Airport take the M8 west to junction 30. Exit here and follow signs for the Erskine Bridge. Once Across the bridge, take the A82 towards Dumbarton. Where the A814 forks left towards Dumbarton, it is also signposted to Helensburgh.

After you enter Helensburgh, you should turn right into West Montrose Street. Cumberland Avenue is on the left after approximately 1.5 miles. Larch View is on the left at the junction of Cumberland Avenue and Ardencaple Drive.
To reach Helensburgh by public transport, there are direct trains from Glasgow Queen Street Lower Level to Helensburgh Central and less frequent trains to Helensburgh Upper and from Glasgow Central Lower Level to Partick, where you can change trains for Helensburgh Central.
