Location
Glen Afton Park is located to the south of Glasgow (42 miles) just off the A76 with fantastic views across
the Blackcraig and Craigdarroch hills. The historic town of Kilmarnock is 21 miles to the north west with
Dumfries (38 miles) to the south east and the coastal towns of Prestwick and Troom both only 24 miles and
29 miles respectively to the west.
Originally this mining parish was separated from Cumnock in 1650 and lies on the River Nith, near its
source and where it is joined by the Afton Water. Glen Afton is associated with William Wallace and Robert
Burns who wrote the immortal lines “flow gently sweet Afton”.
There is plenty to do in the area including visiting Dean Castle and Country Park at Kilmarnock, Caerlaverock
Glencaple at Dumfries and the Burns House Museum at Mauchline. There are also many outdoor activities
available locally such as golf, walking and cycling and the Ayrshire coast with its beaches, links golf courses
and seaside attractions is only some 20 miles to the east.
Description
The park extends to approximately 5.66 hectares (14 acres) and is situated in a stunning elevated position,
yet with separate areas of development of differing character, with the terraced development providing
both privacy and superb countryside views for residents.
