Outdoor Access
Smugglers' Trail
The Smugglers' Trail leads from South Beach, Troon, along the Wrack Road across
Royal Troon Golf Club, past Crosbie Kirk and through Fullarton Woods. From the Main
Street, in Loans the trail crosses ancient woodland and enjoys stunning views over
the Firth of Clyde. This historic route has been in regular use from early times
including use by smugglers.
The route is an easy to moderate woodland and coastal walk, however the incline
rises to 1:6 in places. The walk takes about two hours to complete, it is advisable
to wear sensible footwear.
