From £290 per person
This holiday option follows the Ayrshire Coast Path along its wild and remote southern section. Dramatic panoramas characterise the walk throughout; including castle ruins, old fishing ports, smuggling caves and fascinating rock formations. This is the more rugged half of the coastal path, but it is surmountable with a bit of care and a sturdy pair of boots.
The Ayrshire Coast Path was created by the Rotary Club of Ayr to mark the Centenary of Rotary International in 2005. The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. For every person booking this tour, Contours Walking Holidays will make a £5.00 donation to The Rotary Foundation.
