Dalry
Eglinton Castle. by billmac_sco

Dalry to Kilwinning (Ayrshire)

15 minutes direct from Ardrossan Town.

Mainly winding country roads bordered by woodland and farmland, with no pavement for almost the whole stretch, then a former railway line crossing a tall viaduct and a packed-soil riverbank path near Kilwinning. Wild-flower verges and several restored old buildings. The disused railway section is part of the Garnock Valley Cycle Route.

Time: 2h–4h30

Warnings: There is no pavement for virtually the whole road section, so take care on the winding country lanes. The riverbank path near Kilwinning is poor underfoot; an easy estate-road alternative exists. Cross Lauchlan Way carefully as there is no pedestrian crossing.

Walk details: Slow Ways.
