The River Ayr Way

The River Ayr Way, officially opened in 2006 by Fred Macaulay, is Scotland’s first source to sea path network. It covers a distance of 44 miles following the river Ayr from its source at Glenbuck Loch to the sea at Ayr. The route passes through one of the most interesting river valleys in Southern Scotland and, unlike many other long distance routes, it can be walked over a weekend or a long weekend making it an ideal short break activity for visitors to Ayrshire.
