Castle Semple Visitor Centre located on the shores of Castle Semple Loch, ideal for enjoying ‘wonderful water, walks and wildlife’.
Relax by the loch shore or stroll into Parkhill Wood, Castle Semple’s secret woodland. The 90 acre policy woodland of the Castle Semple Estate includes the 15th century Collegiate Church, the fish ponds and the grotto, where the Semple Clan hold annual gatherings.
The Centre, on Sustrans Cycle route 7 Glasgow – Irvine, is open all year with a tearoom and gift shop plus Seasonal Boat & Bike Hire, and outdoor activity courses such as sailing, kayaking, archery, navigation, mountain biking, multi activity and group taster sessions.
The Countryside Ranger Service patrol the sign-posted walks, provide a schools programme and organise family friendly events and activities throughout the year.
The Rowing, Windsurfing and Sailing Clubs are all based at Castle Semple and have regular Club meetings, usually on Wednesday evening during the summer.
