Prestwick Town to Kilmarnock
Troon to Prestwick Town
Recommended: Views are tremendous. A scenic coastal walk along a wide promenade, then dune paths and tracks through two golf courses and with a final pavement section into Prestwick. Sandy beach and sea birds throughout; tremendous views. Dune paths may not suit cyclists or those with impaired mobility; the golf-course diversion is well surfaced. Great views of Ailsa Craig and Arran, with abundant sea birds and wildlife.
Warnings: The dune path near Pow Burn may be closed at high tide due to erosion (a well-surfaced diversion runs through Royal Troon Golf Course). Take care at Dow's Burn: missing the bridge leaves you at an impassable wide burn mouth, so follow the recommended path and cross at the caravan park.
