Walking
Whithorn Way - b Barrhill to Whithorn)Walking route
From inspection all routes from Girvan to Barrhill are very problematic for long distance walkers. Accordingly it is strongly suggested public tranport is used between Girvan and Barrhill. Whithorn Way (south - Ayr to Whithorn) is now continued.
