Eglinton Country Park is situated within the historic boroughs of Kilwinning and Irvine and was developed around the ancient Eglinton Estate, home for 600 years to the Earls of Eglinton and Winton.
Whatever the season, there are a range of activities to enjoy the beauty of the tranquil area; walking, horse riding, fishing, cycling or simply watching the world go by.
