As part of a long term plan for hiking the length of Scotland with my dog Coops using long distance walking routes such as the West Highland Way and the Cape Wrath Trail, I decided to start my journey at home, section hiking the Ayrshire Coastal Path to gain experience, test out my gear and to work out any issues that may arise on longer routes.
The Ayrshire Coastal Path itself has been designated as one of Scotland’s Great Trails and forms part of the International Appalachian Trail and my journey begins by hiking from the quaint village of Maidens to the equally peaceful fishing village of Dunure 10km up the coast, enjoying stunning deciduous woodlands, rugged clifftops with outstanding views over the sea, expansive sandy beaches and historical landmarks such as Culzean Castle, Dunure Castle and a WW2 Outpost along the way.
Stay tuned for further videos as I make my way through each section of the Ayrshire Coastal Path, there's lots more to see!
