We are the Cunninghame Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This a linear walk that departs from outside the Dundonald Castle Visitor Centre (Winehouse Yett, Dundonald) at 10:40 on 11/05/2024. A grade C walk of 7.5 miles through woodland full of bluebells, past a reservoir (tea break) before heading for the coast at Troon. Lunch will be in a park with toilets. We cross Royal Troon Golf Course and can have a nosy at preparations for the Open.
Good paths and pavements. No need for poles or boots, walking shoes will do. A couple of short, steep ascents but nothing demanding. Apart from the castle there should be plenty of flowers and birds to see.
As this is a linear walk, cars could be left at either end. I will get the 10:00, No. 10 bus, from Troon. The bus stop is at 75-79 Portland Street, by "The Original Factory Shop". After the most convoluted route in the Universe it arrives at Dundonald at 10:30.
Troon has plenty of cafes and we will finish near public toilets. There is a handy car park entered by Academy Street. If using it, park at the far end and walk out the back onto Portland Street
Google Dundonald Castle.
Walk will finish by the "South Beach Kiosk" on St Meddans Street.
