Alloway to Burton path and NCN 7

The Alloway to Burton Path runs for two traffic-free miles from Maybole Road along the dismantled Maidens and Dunure Light Railway. In June 2023 a 1.4 million pound project opened a new underpass on Dunure Road, through a former rail tunnel, so people walking and cycling no longer cross the busy road.

The same project created the Sense-Ayr-Ee sensory garden, with a wetland, a boardwalk and planting chosen for touch, scent and sound. From the underpass, National Cycle Network Route 7 gives a three-mile ride to Ayr town centre.
