Muirkirk Caravan Site

Fill your boots by hiking one of the many interesting walks nearby: the 42 or so miles of River Ayr Way follows the banks of the waterway which passes the park; for a shorter ramble, Twa Brigs takes in two historic crossing points, a Bronze Age hut and a fab picnic spot; or for a challenge, scale all 1,944 feet of Cairntable. Golfers can tee off at the nine-hole Muirkirk Golf Club (five minutes' drive); anglers can chance their arm fishing some brown trout out of Glenbuck Loch (10 minutes), or on the upper stretches of the River Ayr (permits available locally). Horseback treks, carriage rides and kids' farm days are 15 minutes away with the gentle giants of Blackstone Clydesdales. Meanwhile, petrolheads may be able to take in a rally stage or some motor tests at the Kames motorsport circuit, a few minutes' walk away. If you fancy swapping country for coast, Muirkirk is only 45 minutes' drive from the beaches at Ayr and Troon. If it's city lights and cultural attractions you crave, try day trips to Glasgow and Edinburgh, 40 and 50 miles away.
