Eglinton Country Park

About this place

Large country park near Kilwinning with a walled garden, tournament bridge and woodland trails.

This large country park near Kilwinning centres on the site of the famous Eglinton Tournament of 1839, a lavish and famously rain-soaked recreation of a medieval jousting tournament, and a surviving tournament bridge still stands as a reminder of that Victorian spectacle. Beyond the historical curiosity, the park offers a walled garden and extensive woodland trails suited to a proper family walk. Its scale means there's enough here to fill a good half-day without repeating the same paths. It's free to visit, with parking on site and most main paths suitable for buggies.
