Annanhill has seen lots of changes in the past few months. As well as improvements to the course, a path has been constructed to provide a safer and more pleasant route for walkers, ponds and areas of wildflowers have been created to provide wildlife corridors and enhance the biodiversity of the area. The wildflower and daffodil planting as part of World Rewilding Day in conjunction with East Ayrshire Council’s Modern Apprentices and Skills and Learning 33 with Parental Employability scheme.

Wildflower seeds have been planted to attract a wide variety of pollinating insects to what was previously rough grassland.  The resulting mass of colour will also be a great attraction visually for all users of the course and path.

Around 160 trees have also been planted around the course and we are incredibly grateful to our Friends of the Dean Volunteers and Kilmarnock College who helped with planting and Alan White Design who kindly donated the trees as well as also helping with the planting of these native species trees – birch, beech and oak.

New signage and interpretation has also been installed including a new totem entrance sign. Enjoy walking your daily mile on the new path and see some of these new improvements for yourself.
