We are the South Lanarkshire Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The walk starts in West Kilbride.
From Main Street turn into Hunterston Road and continue until a roundabout is reached then turn L onto Portencross Road which after about half a mile reaches the main Largs/Ardrossan Road. Straight across and continue on the B7048 Portencross Road.
This is a pleasant country road which passes a golf course on the left and leads to the ruined Portencross Castle.
We now join the Ayrshire Coastal Path which leads down to the shore where we turn left and walk towards Seamill.
We have lovely views across to Arran from here.
We continue along the seashore passing Seamill Hydro and some lovely houses.
When we reach a caravan park and the Waterside Hotel we cut up to the main road where we will board the bus.
