When is the most affordable time to visit Glen Lyon?
The most affordable time to visit Glen Lyon is generally during the shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October), outside of the peak summer months and major school holidays. During these periods, you'll often find better deals on accommodation and potentially cheaper travel options compared to the high season.

For solo travellers, these months offer a quieter experience, allowing for more peaceful enjoyment of the stunning natural scenery without the summer crowds. Many local B&Bs and guesthouses, which are often more budget-friendly than larger hotels, may offer reduced rates. You can enjoy long walks or cycling through the glen, with the added beauty of spring blooms or autumn colours, at little to no cost.

Families might also appreciate the shoulder seasons for their milder weather and fewer visitors, making activities like picnics by the River Lyon or exploring the surrounding hills more relaxed. While some attractions might have slightly reduced hours, the natural beauty of Glen Lyon, which is entirely free to enjoy, remains the main draw.

For solo travellers, exploring the numerous public footpaths and trails is a fantastic way to experience the area without spending a penny. You can wander along the River Lyon, admiring the ancient trees and the dramatic, craggy hillsides. A popular choice is to walk sections of the Glen Lyon Circular, a longer route that can be broken down into shorter, manageable strolls, offering breathtaking views around every bend.
