Mountain Biking
Mountain bikes at Glenapp will provide an opportunity to explore coastal paths and forest trails with terrains to suit all abilities. The Ayrshire Coastal Path at the edge of our estate is a hidden gem. You're unlikely to see to many people but you will come across remote beaches and ancient woodlands and, on a good day, panoramas all the way to Ireland.
Pheasant shooting
Only a short distance from the Castle are five of Scotland’s magnificent shooting estates where seasoned parties from around the world are able to shoot pheasant from October through January.
Deerstalking
A unique and challenging sport available within a beautiful landscape and with professional guides.
Fishing with Eagles
As part of a unique experience with our partner company, Elite Falconry, we are able to take with us on boat trips a Fish Eagle, who is a total natural at catching fish before your eyes. This is a truly extraordinary experience.
Hiking/Running
With some of the purest air in the United Kingdom, enjoy coast, hill, forest and glen hikes or jogging from 2 to 30 miles all in the same day.
Golf
In past years Glenapp was designated the golfing hotel of the year. This was fascinating from our perspective as we don’t have a golf course! However, and quite incredibly, we do have the highest concentration of open golf courses in the world on our doorstep ranging from Turnberry and Dundonald to Prestwick and Troon. Let Glenapp be your base as we transfer you to arguably some of the best courses in the world.
Quad-Biking
Less than 25 minutes along the coast is a well known quad-biking facility for those with an urge for speed.

Kayaking and Canoeing
Can be arranged and is situated around 40 minutes from the Castle.
