Ayr Gorge Woodlands is a stunning nature reserve that is one of the most important habitats in Ayrshire for invertebrates, plants, fungi and bats. The ancient woodland spans a steep sandstone ravine that has been carved by the River Ayr, covering it with oaks, ash and some old beech trees. Keep a look-out for kingfishers, otters, Atlantic salmon and the rare brown long-eared bat.
