Culzean Castle is perched magnificently on a dramatic cliff top setting, in a rambling 260 hectare estate.
The park is planted with conifers and beech, sculpted around miles of sandy coastline dotted with caves, and complete with a Swan pond, ice house, and stunning formal gardens‚ not to mention two amazing adventure playgrounds for children.
With secret follies hidden among trees, beaches to run along and play areas in the woods, this is a truly exciting day out for all the family to enjoy.
