Watermeetings, Kilmaurs

A delightful short walk taking in some of Kilmaurs’ best bits, including Morton Park and the war memorial, St Maurs-Glencairn Parish Church, the remains of “Penny Bridge” and the impressive toolbooth known as the Jougs. It is actually much more of a countryside trail than its name suggests, including several field crossings. Wellies sometimes advisable!

A pleasant short walk along quiet country roads and the cycle path, starting in the village of Knockentiber.

A great walk between the Ayrshire villages of Knockentiber and Springside. The outward route follows the NCN73 Kilmarnock-Irvine cycle track into Springside and returns via the quiet Knockentiber Road. Lovely views from the highest points, including down into Crosshouse and over to the Isle of Arran.

Starting in the village of Knockentiber, this route uses a small section of the NCN73 cycle track before heading out into open countryside, following quiet country roads onto the Overtoun Rd leading to Springside. The return is via the Knockentiber. Road - a single track road offering fine views down to Crosshouse and back towards the Isle of Arran on a clear day.

A beautiful countryside walk into the popular Dean Castle Country Park, taking in both Fenwick Water and Craufurdland Water. There are options to extend to visit the castle, Rural Life Centre, duck ponds and kids play area.

An ideal walk for the longer Spring and Summer evenings. After passing through the Craufurdland Estate, you will spend the majority of the walk out in the open countryside, from where you can admire the views on a clear day.

A walk for the more adventurous! Quiet country roads quickly lead into the woodland of Craufurdland Estate. You will pass the fishing loch and the Laird’s Table cafe/restaurant, as well as cross a ford (using the footbridge!) The return leg of the walk is via a public right of way across farmland.

This is an amenity park walk on tarmac surfaces with some steeper gradients.
