The Whithorn Way is a newly mapped 13-stage, 143 mile walking and cycling route which follows much of the westerly pilgrimage route to Whithorn, travelled by pilgrims for well over 1000 years. Girvan is part of stage 7 and 8 of the Whithorn Way. Stage 7 is Maybole to Girvan (12 miles), stage 8 is Girvan to Colmonell (13 miles). Since Girvan is the perfect stopping point between stages, plan for a rest here and enjoy the local hospitality before you continue on your way.

The Whithorn Way has been mapped and walked by members of the Whithorn Way Steering Group. Don’t forget to get your ‘passport’ stamped, or scan the QR code at Girvan’s Tourist Information Point.
