Family fun while staying at Drumboy
Lodge !!
There are many walks, both
in the immediate area, local, and further a field, that will suit any
level of ability, and length of time you wish to walk. The
Irvine Valley
(the area around Loudounhill) has 11 documented walks, ranging from The
William Wallace Path
(1/3 of a mile - right on your doorstep!) to the
Irvine Valley Trail
which is around 9.5 miles.
Loudounhill
itself is only a short walk from your door, and most of our quests make
it their personal challenge to climb it during their stay !!
There is a beach in Irvine
(next to the Magnum Centre) and a much larger one in
Ayr, which
has an outside adventure play area next to it with crazy golf and
amusements for the children.
There is also fishing within a short drive at
Arran View Fishery,
and Quarter Fishery,
if you want to try something new.
There is also the Dean
Castle Country Park in Kilmarnock which has something
for everyone.
The Heads of Ayr Farm Park
is a must for families with children with many kinds of
animals and quad bikes along with many other things to keep everyone
entertained for the whole day.
Quad bikes and Moto X can usually be seen throughout the year at a farm
only a 5 minute drive away and horse competitions can also be seen
locally.
We also have a family theme park within a short car journey from the
Lodge called M & D's
Theme Park
(Hamilton), where you can have hours of fun.
There is also Newmilns Snow
and Sports Complex and another full 'snow experience' in
Escape in
Glasgow, if you fancy something a little different. You will have no
problems passing the time !
For the rainy days there is
Strathaven Leisure Centre which has a small
swimming pool and is stacked full of equipment and runs many different
types of sports classes during the week.
Hamilton Water Palace
has a large swimming pool and another 'adventure pool'
where you can spend hours of fun.
There are also cinemas, shops, and 10 pin bowling in
Hamilton, East Kilbride and
Kilmarnock
(all a 30 minutes drive) and
Ayr (a 50 minutes drive).
Boat trips are proving to be very popular with our guests, to the
Isle of Arran and
Ailsa Craig ( a dormant volcano arising from the
sea). You can also take a boat trip to
Millport,
and hire bikes, and cycle the 10 miles round the island !!! (Don't panic
- Millport is almost flat !!)
And so much more !!
There is detailed information within the lodge on all activities and
days out.
Examples of things to do to entertain you !!!
You will never be bored !!
