INTRODUCTION-
This paper presents an outline of potential leisure/recreational facilities that could be developed in parallel with the wind farm at Mark Hill and in a manner that could be of benefit to the village of Barrhill and the wider community.
This paper also responds directly to concerns raised previously by Barrhill Community Council about public access issues.
The paper has been prepared by Force 9 Energy, developers of the proposed wind farm at Mark Hill. In previous discussion with the local community, Force 9 Energy has indicated its willingness to help develop a local network of walking routes.

This plan was commissioned by Girvan Horizons to prepare a Development and Management Plan (DMP) for the proposed Carrick Way long distance route.
The development of a circular route around the hills of North and South Carrick has stemmed from the interest in walking shown during three recent walking festivals organised in the area.
There has already been path development activity in the area, with Ayrshire Paths developing and promoting local networks around the settlements of Girvan, Kirkoswald, Maybole, Straiton, Dailly and Barr.
The proposal has the support of South Ayrshire Council and local Community Councils and is co-ordinated by Ayrshire Walking Festivals group (AWFG).
