About Girvan

Girvan is proud of its reputation for floral attractions and colourful displays which are situated in many parts of the town and include the Rose Gardens, Knockcushan Gardens and Orchard Gardens. The town is also a good base for exploring on foot or by bike the Carrick Forest and the many picturesque villages of the surrounding Carrick area.

There are no fewer than 20 different castles in the local area. Some are mere ruins and others like Culzean Castle are viewable in all their splendour. The world-famous golf links course, Turnberry, is a few miles up the coast.
