See our region from a different perspective
Why not enjoy a different take on our stunning local environment – and take to the water! It’s a great way to see our landscape from a different angle. One of the easiest ways to do this is by taking one of the local ferries that link the Rosneath Peninsula on which our park sites with the mainland at Gourock.
The ferry leaves from the nearby village of Kircleggan, which is a five minute drive away from our caravan park in west Scotland. The ferry from Kircleggan only take around 15 minutes to cross the Firth Of Clyde and operates all year round.
When in Gourock you can either explore this pretty port town, which was a popular destination for Glaswegian day trippers, with its ice-cream parlours and open-air swimming pool or head on further. Head east to the neighbouring town of Greenock, an historic industrial town with a rich heritage, or head west and jump aboard your next ferry – this one will take you back across the Firth Of Clyde to the Cowal Peninsula.
The main attraction on the Cowal Peninsula is Dunoon, which is one of the Firth of Clyde’s foremost resorts. It’s built around the historic Castle Mound and is famous for its large Victorian Pier.
Dunoon also boasts an attractive promenade, Here you can take a walk along the high street and browse the selection of craft shops and galleries, or enjoy a refreshment in one of the cafes or restaurants.
