Dean Castle and Country Park

Dean Castle Country Park is a fantastic free day out for all the family. The country park, covering over 200 acres, is nestled in the heart of Kilmarnock and offers something for kids and adults alike to enjoy. The Country Park boasts beautiful woodland walks, adventure playground, rural life centre, visitor centre, tearoom, shop and a fantastic 14th century castle housing world class collections including historic weapons, armour and musical instruments. Explore the park using scenic paths and trails - each season brings with it ever changing plants and wildlife that you might spy along the way. Due to unforeseen survey work required at Dean Castle, the building will be closed to the public for the foreseeable future. The visitor centre, cafe and play park remain closed for upgrades, however, public toilets are available to the rear of the castle.
