An old ruin with no internal access due to safety. However the view was magnificent and a great walk.

Definitely recommend a visit to this castle. Park in the beach car park and take a 10 minute or so walk along the beach towards the castle for some really nice views ?

I would definitely recommend taking a trip up to see the castle! There’s a car park at the bottom and to get to the castle is only a 10min walk following a cycle track up a hill. It’s not accessible as the pathways are all over grown however you can still get close enough to get some great pictures. If you carry further on down the cycle track there is an opening onto a farmers field which leads to the beach which was very quiet didn’t see anyone along the way.

We were recommended to visit the beach at Greenan Castle for its nice walks as it's a little off the beaten track. It was a lovely stretch of beach that was virtually deserted when we visited which was lovely just to walk along without being disturbed and great for mindfulness. A lovely walk with a stunning background. We didn't go up to the castle as we were led to believe that there was no entry but that didn't detract from our visit. Plenty of places to park and you can walk for quite a way across a foot bridge over the sea inlet.

Remaining of a historic castle, standing by the Ayr cost line. Entrance to the remaining part of the building sealed off (probably due to the safety of visitors and building). The building is sitting on a rock that is exposed to sea and high tides. Since the castle building is on high ground, visitors can see a scenic view of sea and Ayr city and surrounding area. Access to the building from Beach bit difficult as visitors have to walk through bushes and area fill with nettles and thistles.
