South Ayrshire

Paths

South Ayrshire is blessed with a stunning and wide ranging landscape from long sandy beaches and rugged cliff edged shores with views over to Arran and beyond to rolling hillsides with peaceful and welcoming villages, providing many opportunities to get outdoors and go walking and cycling.

Cycling

The area is popular with cyclists of all abilities due to its traffic free paths by the coast suitable for families with young kids and the quiet country roads in the hilly rural landscape popular with road cyclists. Read more about official and suggested cycle routes.

Developments

Our community group are actively involved in various improvements to walking and cycling infrastructure.

About us

South Ayrshire Paths Initiative is a volunteer community group dedicated to the development and promotion of a network of safe and attractive walking and cycling paths and routes in South Ayrshire.

Although there are many opportunities to get outdoors and go walking and cycling in the area, like most places, there are some barriers, safety issues, missing links etc. We work with the local council, roads department, community councils and organisations like Sustrans, Paths for All and Cycling Scotland who fund walking and cycling improvements.
