We had an utterly fantastic experience riding these wonderful horses on Ayr beach, helped by a beautifully sunny day. John and his team were brilliant - ensuring we were safe, but enabling us to have a thrilling 2-hour ride. I would definitely recommend.

My wife and I (and our little 5 month old) really enjoyed doing the Abandoned Academy room today. Some really nice touches including nods to some local history, attention to detail with the items in the room and a satisfying logic to it all once you work it out. Really friendly and welcoming while managing the necessary COVID procedures. Would definitely recommend!

Tree Top Trials

Treetop Trials is the newest part of the adventure at Craufurdland Estate. Probably the best Treetop Experience in Scotland. It is a family orientated course with children as young as 5 years old able to participate. This project has been partly funded by Ayrshire Leader. This is the ideal outdoor activity experience for those looking for a pure adrenaline rush, fabulous workout, lots of fresh air, fun & awesome scenery. Treetop trials is ideal for families, individuals, hen and stag groups, corporate team building, school & youth groups and adventure parties for all age groups. Safety is always at the forefront of our minds therefore we use a continuous belay system which is easy and simple for all users. You simply slide the safety line from one off the obstacle to the next along the safety wire, no need to click on and click off between activities. Treetop Trials circuit will take between 30 minutes to 3 hours to complete depending on the experience chosen, fitness and agility.

Dean Castle and Country Park

Dean Castle Country Park is an excellent free day out for all the family. The Country Park boasts a 14th century castle and beautiful woodland walks. The Country Park has completed a project to upgrade its Rural Life Centre, play park and Visitor Centre. The Castle is now closed for restoration and works will begin in June 2018. From June 2018, you will be able to see the museum collections normally on display in Castle at the Dick Institute, Elmbank St, Kilmarnock. Join us for different holiday activities with the Ranger Service over Easter and summer.

Visited today for a stroll through the park, we feel it is very well kept and spotless. Visited the animal centre and loved it! Glorious sunny day and will revisit again, we don't visit enough and its so close to us too. Give it a try you won't be disappointed, enough space so didn't feel crowded, lots of dog walkers which was lovely to see, with the way the world is this was a little piece of normality.
