To the north lie Saltcoats, Stevenston and Ardrossan, often known as the three towns. Ardrossan is the main ferry port for travelling to the Isle of Arran. Around 700,000 visitors pass through the town each year on their way to one of Scotland's popular holiday spots. Inland is Kilwinning, an ancient Abbey town.
