As Glasgow Central Station high level will be closed this Saturday, this walk has been moved to 4th April. Please reapply from 21st March. Those who registered for Sat 14th March will have priority for the walk in April.
This is an 11 mile circular walk starting at Irvine Railway Station. The route provides the walkers with a great overview of the many different aspects of what Irvine has to offer. We head down to Irvine harbour and walk 3 miles on the sandy beach to Barassie, before making our way through a residential area. From there on, we follow The National Cycle Network where we will experience the industrial side of Irvine, passing Auchengate Sawmill and The Caledonian Papermill. As we walk through Shewalton Woods we enjoy some scenic woodland areas, the soothing sounds of nature, a wildlife reserve and pass an expansive tranquil reservoir. After leaving the woods we return to Irvine's harbourside via a more elevated path running beneath The Stone Dragon and skirting the pond within Irvine Beach Park. Weather dependent we will enjoy the breath taking views across The Firth of Clyde both at the start and the end of the walk.
