The Ayrshire Coastal Path is a 100-mile long coastal walk with one of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles. Crowned with a superb backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, otters and seals; it is also a haven for bird watchers. The River Ayr Way, a 40-mile source to sea walk, is also easily accessed.
The South West Coastal 300 is a new Scottish driving route that is perfect for a camping or motorhome trip.
Extending some 300 miles through the tranquil and scenic south-west region of Scotland, the circular road route takes in numerous attractions. The SWC300 is the third in a series of Scottish driving routes, including the North Coast 500 and the North East 250.
The SWC300 drive could be completed several days while on holiday in Scotland in a campervan or motorhome hire. But there is so much to see and do that it would be better to enjoy the journey over a week.
