With every conceivable type of landscape, from rolling hills to dramatic coastlines, mountains, forests and woodlands to moorlands, from green fields to long golden sandy beaches, you  must experience Ayrshire’s great outdoors. For the keen outdoors enthusiast and for those seeking more passive activities, Ayrshire offers almost every type of activity one can think of.

The Carrick Forest in South Ayrshire, Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park and cycle trail between Lamlash and Kilmory on the Isle of Arran provide the mountain biker with miles and miles of off road tracks and forest trails. For the road cyclist why not explore the Burns Cycle Trail and the many quiet country lanes that criss-cross Ayrshire. The Isle of Cumbrae is also a paradise for cyclists with a little over ten miles of fairly flat road offering spectacular views.

For the landlubbers amongst us seeking peace and solitude there are many miles of footpaths, woodland and forest trails and mountain peaks to explore. Walking in Ayrshire & Arran provides the ideal combination of fresh air, dramatic views and the opportunity to catch glimpses of our abundant flora and fauna. The Ayrshire Paths Initiative is committed to developing and opening up miles of walking routes for your enjoyment. Reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, the granite peaks and deep valleys in the north of Arran contrast with the rolling heather-clad moorlands of the south.

The area is renowned for some of the world's most famous championship links golf courses such as Royal Troon, Turnberry and Old Prestwick, home of Open Golf, as well as many other excellent courses.
A whole plethora of other activities can be found in Ayrshire & Arran's great outdoors from horse riding to quad biking, para-gliding to bird watching, game and sea fishing, golf to just sitting back and watching the world go by!

With a never-ending choice of activities to choose from, can you resist Ayrshire & Arran's great outdoors?
