Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
⛳Golf is at its best in summer here
🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days

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.
