The Carrick Way is in development and comprises of a 100 mile circular route around the hills of North and South Carrick.
The route will be accessible from 3 railway stations - Girvan, Maybole and Barrhill.
The route provides access to a diverse range of landscapes, from forest and upland landscapes to intensive agriculture and coast.
The Southern section of the Way could potentially link to the Southern Upland Way and the northern section of the Way could potentially link to Ayr and beyond. There is also potential to link east to Loch Doon and routes in East Ayrshire.
There has already been path development activity in the area, with Ayrshire Paths developing and promoting local networks around the settlements of Girvan, Kirkoswald, Maybole, Straiton, Dailly and Barr.
The vision for The Carrick Way is to create a sustainabe access resource, developed and managed by local people, that will appear to a wide range of users, ages and abilities.
The proposal for The Carrick Way has the support of South Ayrshire Council and the local Community Councils and is co-ordinated by Ayrshire Walking Festivals Group (AWFG).
Successful walking festivals are already held every year in this area at which attendance figures continue to grow.
