Best walks from Saltcoats

Ardrossan Harbour Station to Saltcoats Station

views over the Clyde to Arran were stunning. A short, easy and straightforward route, the majority along the South Beach promenade and with wonderful sea views.

Easy: 2km, gentle ascents.

The route officially ends with stairs over the railway line at the Saltcoats end, though a nearby road crossing and ramp avoid them.

Saltcoats Station to Stevenston Station

A short walk and partly on a tedious main road and partly on a mostly tarmacked (some gravel) track that runs raised between a golf course and a caravan park. Crosses a playing field and a river before the final streets. There are views back to Goat Fell on the Isle of Arran from the track.

2km.
