Prestwick is one of the many airports which can be found in Scotland. Travelling times into Glasgow are around 40 minutes by car and just under an hour by train which has a direct link to the airport. There are only a small number of agencies within the airport so booking in advance is advisable.
Most of the visitors head north to the nearest city which is Glasgow. Try heading south instead for a relaxing holiday along the A77 and stopping off at any one of the seaside resorts along the west perhaps Maybole, Ayr, Irvine. Lots of interesting stop overs.
Ayr is about 30 minutes or so from the your arrival point and is a popular tourist stop off in the area. A large town offering a great variety of shops for all sorts of souvenirs. There is a beach and play park along the promenade for you to enjoy your stroll along the beach. The town is busy in the summer with tourists visiting from all over the country.
Travelling further down you will drive into a quaint town called Girvan. At first it may appear sleepy but there is lots going on in and around here. Fabulous Chinese restaurant is opposite Asda supermarket and is perfect for sitting in or taking away to eat at home. Lots of your favourite dishes but with a slight Thai flavour to them. Walk over to the harbour from here and you will find a fantastic new park which is opened to the young ones of the area including paddle boats.
A short 10 minute drive will find you in Turnberry which is home to golf in Scotland. A short round of golf is any golfer's dream to play on this course as the course is televised when major events are on in Scotland. You can stay in the hotel or on site at one of the local parks and perhaps stop by the club house for lunch.
There are lots of ruins and historic sites to visit in this area including Culzean Castle and a few Robbie Burns sites which are dedicated to him. There are lots of information on the web for places to visit. You could easily plan your week's holiday just visiting the sites. There are lots of reasons to head south after arriving at the airport. The above are only a few reasons to visit this area there are lots more.
