Join me for the Byne Hill Swimventure, a guided coastal hill walk near Girvan with the option of a refreshing sea swim or cold-water dip to finish. Byne Hill is a well-known Ayrshire landmark, offering some of the best coastal views in Ayrshire, with sweeping outlooks across the Firth of Clyde and towards Ailsa Craig.
This gentle yet rewarding 6.5km (4-mile) guided walk follows a well-defined hill path, steadily climbing to the summit before descending back towards the coast. We’ll move at an unhurried pace, allowing time to pause, take in the scenery and enjoy the benefits of being outdoors. The experience concludes with an optional sea swim or dip, adding a sense of adventure and restoration to the day.
Perfect for those seeking wild swimming in Ayrshire, outdoor wellbeing, and time to step away from daily demands, this Swim the Lochs experience is about connection, confidence and nurturing yourself in nature.
