King's Cave

Accommodation Info

Overview

A superb coastal walk visiting a series of caves in the sandstone cliffs. Historic King's Cave is one of several locations in which Robert the Bruce is said to have had his famed encounter with a spider. From Blackwaterfoot you can walk along the beach and through the clever boulder-field path, part of Arran Coastal Way.  

Alternatively you can start at the clearly marked forestry car park between Blackwaterfoot and Machrie, which offers a circuitous route back to the same car park - or  join onto the shoreline back to Blackwaterfoot. The bus may also be used along the A841 to shorten the walk. 

A 5km, 1.5 hr easy walk on undulating good tracks.
