Some pictures from Maidens to Dunure Walk

This is the section of beach to the north of Culzean castle along which we walked toward the sunshine.

The group was well spread out on the high ground between Croy and Dunure.

OK, so this wasn't taken on yesterday's walk but it was taken this month - on the 10th to be exact.

This walk is part of the Ayrshire Coastal Path and has oft been described before on the blog so suffice it to say that the route from Maidens was along the shore until the path up to Culzean Country Park. Walking through the park past the Swan Pond we quickly reached the castle where coffee was taken. Descending to the beach we continued past Croy until lunch was taken at the rocks adjacent to the ascent up to the cliff face. From here we followed the path until Dunure was reached.

As the pictures show, we were fortunate yet again with the weather and enjoyed the banter in the Anchorage Bar of the Dunure Inn.

For the record, this walk lasted a tad over 3 hours. Last week’s has been calculated at 22km, the best part of 14 miles in old money!
