It is impossible to write about every activity, beautiful or interesting place to visit whilst in Kintyre – we have so many!

However, we thought we’d include some of our favourite things to see and do to give you a taste of Kintyre and tempt you to come and join us!

Carradale

A 9 hole golf course, Carradale Bay – a mile long sandy beach, the beautiful Port Righ bay looking over to Arran, our wild goats at Carradale Point, the working harbour and wonderful walks in the forest and up onto the hills. The heritage centre is open to find out more about our village history, and the village hall is host to a series of events, from live music and concerts to activities and clubs! In addition to The Ashbank, the village has a well-stocked shop, a post office, The Carradale Hotel, Drumfearne and the Blackbird cafe. You can also make your way to Torrisdale, only 5 minutes drive from the village to enjoy the lovely Beinn An Tuirc cafe or take part in their gin school or distillery tour.
