The Abbey Tower is a little hidden treasure right off the Main Street.A piece of history, it's a serene place to wander about, or sit and gather your thoughts. If you visit the Kilwinning library nearby, you can find even more information about the Abbey.

I lived within 5 minutes of this for 24 years and visited on Saturday for the first time. I'm ashamed to say I didn't think it would be up to much. Well, I was wrong! There was plenty to read/see on each floor of the museum and tower. We were guided up the stairs by a very knowledgable volunteer, who managed to keep our preschoolers engaged the whole time. And the views at the top were simply breathtaking. Won't be waiting another 24 years to go back!

Kids loved their trip to the abbey tower, great views from the top. Kids also get a certificate for climbing all 143 steps

For a small Ayrshire town it is steeped in history. The Abbey has been preserved and has a lot of to offer for a short visit two steps from the main street, you have the amenities of the town also.

Nestled in the heart of Kilwinning town this historic tower and abbey are not to be missed. The views from the top of the 143(?) steps up the tower is great on a good day. Well done to the volunteers who keep this in operation.
