Lynn Falls - Waterfall
Nature preserve
👍👍 I've been to these falls a few times, and I just love the circular walk around the falls. The falls are amazing to see and are a must day out with kids or pets. Ample parking for about 10/15 cars.

Irvine Beach Park
Beach pavillion
👍👍 Beautiful beach park in the north Ayrshire. Just a 20 minute walk from the Irvine train station, the beach park has spectacular views. The long stretch allows people to be play freely. Dogs have a fun time too running around the beach, splashing in the cold water!
Overall, amazing day trip from Glas...

Ardrossan South Beach
Public beach
👍👍 Absolutely lovely beach, not to busy either considering first, good weather bank holiday out of lockdown we have had. Clean, clear water, we spent over 6 hours here (most of it in the water) fantastic way to spend the day with family who haven't been able to see each other in over a year because of...

Eglinton Castle
Ruin
👍👍 On the banks of the river Garnock, in the Eglinton estate, country park.
Lovely country walking area with a visitor centre, car parking and a big kids play area.
The original castle was the seat of the Earls of Eglinton, it was burnt by the Earl of Glencairn in 1528.
The Castle was rebuilt between 1...

Irvine Beach
Tourist attraction
😐 Although it’s a lovely beach and lovely sand. There are a lot of rude, foul mouthed teenagers that ruined the beach with bottles and rubbish. We were so disgusted by the view of the beach after they had been and gone. Police had to check all of the kids belonging when coming off the trains. I think...

Kilwinning Abbey
Historical landmark
👍 A beautiful sunny day and what could be better than finding a quiet spot in a busy town on the west coast of Scotland. Clearly neglected by church and state alike, this medieval abbey is a treasure to behold. Sadly the tower is only open on restricted hours.
The Kirkyard offers up some tantalising...

Stewarton Woodlands Action trust Walk
Park
👍 I love walking my dogs here, or riding my horse. It is well maintained and clean, with dog poo bins provided. The woods are beautiful at all times of the year. It is the best place for having a fresh relaxing walk in Stewarton. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that unfortunately there can...

Saltcoats Harbour
Historical landmark
😐 A lovely spot for a walk along the harbour side. Hasn’t had the capital expenditure that Irvine has benefitted from but this may be because the Council Offices at the Town Hall have been refurbished at considerable expense. My advice - obey the notice not to feed the seagulls. If you do, you will fi...

Bouncestation Ltd
Children's amusement center
👍👍 I have been taking my daughter to the ASN sessions here for roughly a year and a half. I can honestly say the staff go above and beyond, hence the reason a large group of us visit every Monday and Sunday! Keep up the good work guys 😀😀 👍🏻

👍 A nice clean safe place for the little darlings to go mental in !! 😇 🤪 😁 🤣
Then at the end you pick up the exhausted cherubs and hope they hadn't eaten and drank too much .... for the journey home 🏡 ...
Great for the kids, and the food was OK as well, in fact it was better than we thought it...

Harperland Dog Runs
Dog park
👍👍 I thoroughly recommend here to any dog owner. My wee westie is the type of dog that once off the lead he will just run & chase everything, so finding a place he cannot escape from but can still run & chase things Is brilliant, I will happily be a regular customer as my we dog loved his time running...
