Help connect Prestwick
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Prestwick’s Slow Ways.

Review of Slow Ways route Tropre one (Troon to Prestwick). The remainder of the route is via tracks through Prestwick Golf Course (I followed the adjacent dune path here to enjoy the views) with a final section along pavements to the town centre....
wellchoughed
I'm joining the other two reviewers to recommend this as a fantastic Slow Ways route. Portions of it follow dune paths that might not be suitable for all users. Overall this route is scenic, direct, accessible by transit and features many amenities....

This route starts with a lovely walk over the 500 year 'Auld Brig of Ayr' and after a little diversion through some industrial units brings you out onto the coast....
Slow Ways Darren
This route is mainly on the cycle lane and pavement along the coast and doesn't take you on to the sand, and it pays to follow the recommended path. If you get too distracted by the beauty of this stretch of coast you'll end up at the mouth of the very wide burn that cuts through the beach which is impassable (unless you fancy swimming)....
Slow Ways Darren
A lovely coastal walk partly on the beach and partly over the sand dunes. Great views of Ailsa Craig and Arran. Lots of wildlife....
