Maybole, the former capital of Carrick, has a documented history that dates back to the 1100s. The towering town hall of the 19th century and the impressive Maybole Castle, thought to have been constructed in 1560, make the main street particularly outstanding. Once renowned for its shoe production, the community now offers a variety of stores and pubs, as well as a conspicuous orange-stone parish church with a very eccentric design. The beautiful Ayrshire shoreline is easily accessible, and the capital of Burns Country, the bustling market town of Ayr, with its many amenities, is only 5 miles away. 10 miles away, Galloway Forest offers wonderful walking options, and 12 miles away, Culzean Bay, with its majestic castle and lovely gardens, is a mesmerising destination. A delightful, tranquil spot that is ideally situated for exploring the stunning West coast of Scotland.
