Holiday parks near Ayr

You’ll find the town of Ayr on the south-west coast of Scotland, around an hour outside of Glasgow. Holiday parks near Ayr revolve around the stunning coastline. Ayr’s beach is a long, sandy stretch – perfect for building sandcastles or breezy dog walks. On a clear day, you can see all the way over to the Isle of Arran, or sometimes even the coast of Ireland.

You can expect all the usual suspects of a British seaside town, like amusements and mini golf to keep the kids happy, and cafés to keep everyone fed and watered. Plus, this area’s a top spot for golfers, with three courses within easy reach of the holiday parks. And, in April, thousands of people descend on the town’s famous racecourse for the Scottish Grand National.
