There are significant remains of what was once a quite significant that dates back to the 1400's although it's reckoned that there had been a on the site as early as 1140. William Wallace largely destroyed it after he captured it in battle, then the rebuilt was burned down after an attack in 1528 and then Oliver Cromwells troops finally demolished it and reused the stone elsewhere. Helpful information boards explain the and associated events. Certainly worth visiting but it also seems to be a hangout for some dodgy characters. A five star rating just for the of the Ayrshire coastline, Arran, Ailsa Craig and farther on a clear day. The itself is a ruin now, it was a stronghold of some importance to the area until Cromwell destroyed it. Lots of to read on the display boards, and a viewpoint direction indicator. The Winton Court playpark is nearby for kids, while the adults enjoy the The gate was open for us to view the which was to see the ruins of history. The entrances to the itself has been closed off. Still 360⁰ when inside the grounds as per pictures. Excellent place to spend day out with family. Interesting ruined on very attractive parkland. Picnic tables and childrens playpark. Excellent of Arran and beyond. Car park up top of wee road short walk up the hill over grass to the ruin information boards give u plenty of info about the Some amazing Fantastic and history. There are seats and benches. Used to spend days exploring the as a child. Unfortunately it's now closed off to the public and only open on special occasions, galas, etc. Not much left of the castle, but interesting and decent views. Children's play park at the top and parking available. wee place The is a ruin and should be surrounded by fences but one has been broken down so you can get in and if you want have a look around but be careful. If you do decide to visit I would go in the morning. When we were there on Saturday 25/03/23 in the afternoon and the local youths were using it as a drinking den. Beside the is a small playpark with swings, climbing frame, seesaw etc. Its probably for 7 and under. There is some picnic tables just outside the playpark The out to isle of Arran and addrossan are worth the walk to the top of the slope. There is a monument to Dr Alexander Macfadzean with benches. There a decent size car park but no toilets. First time visiting Ardrossan Castle. Recommend visiting the local museum in Saltcoats as well, has a lot more information and very helpful volunteers. Place very good for walking, amazing and strong winds ha ha ha ha 😁 It is a nice walk up the hill. The structure itself is in ruins with interesting attached. Free to access. Nice of the town from the top. A small quiet place at the top of a hill. Nothing much to see but ruins. The view is exquisite though. It was cool for a bit but I got bored quickly beautiful castle, unfortunately its fenced off so unable to see it up close. has some information balares which give detailed information about the of the castor and it’s significance in Ardrossan. also translates to gaelic Such a place to visit with a history. It has of Arran and Goatfell and I would totally recommend anyone who plans to visit Ardrossan to visit the castle. Amazing view point and historical point place nice gardens Lovely view through the day other than the fence around the and at night very unsafe as no lighting on path and sometimes path unable to walk on as cars have been driving up the footpath and parking on it so if you have a pram or wheelchair I would bother going up as you will get stuck. 5 years that fence is still up bring it down I say. is demolished. i was the expect to see something fancy Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
