Beyond the rolling hills, one of the major draws of Ayrshire is the stunning coastline along the Firth of Clyde, which comprises unspoilt beaches like Ayr and Troon, picturesque fishing towns and jaw-dropping views across to the Isle of Arran. Ayrshire is also home to a number of quaint villages, heritage sites and nearly 50 golf courses – a real rural retreat!

The buzz of the city isn’t too far away, either. Glasgow is a half-hour drive to the north-east, while the M77 and Glasgow Prestwick Airport open up opportunities for explorations further afield.
