Dean Castle Country Park is a fun day out for all the family – and the best part is, it’s free. Covering some 200 acres, the park boasts a wealth of scenic woodland, an adventure playground, a 14th-century castle and much more. Located in the heart of Kilmarnock, the park is popular with tourists and locals alike who flock to visit its wildlife. Residents of its urban farm include a trio of kune kune pigs, donkeys, llamas and Highland cattle. Many will visit simply to take a free tour of the castle, where you can have a go at playing some period replica musical instruments and trying on a suit of armour. You’ll also learn about the castle’s history, which has links to some of Scotland’s most heralded figures, Robert the Bruce among them. Dean Castle Country Park is also a popular venue for weddings and conferences, thanks to its idyllic scenery and proximity to Kilmarnock. Celebrate your big day at Downer House, set within the extensive Dean Castle Estate, and the beautiful gardens will provide excellent photo opportunities. Drop by the Dean Castle Visitor Centre for information on upcoming events or to hear about the park’s conservation work.
