Field centre providing group accommodation on the Isle of Cumbrae, North Ayreshire
Millport is situated on the magical island of Cumbrae, just off the western shore of mainland Scotland in the Firth of Clyde. Despite being on an island and feeling wonderfully remote, it is remarkably accessible, just 1.5 hours from Glasgow with excellent ferry, road, rail, and air connections and is only a 10-minute ferry ride from Largs on the mainland. Millport offers the best of both worlds, a stunning island landscape experience with the convenience of the mainland. Surrounded by breathtaking coastal scenery, with views across the sea to the mainland and neighbouring islands, the centre provides the perfect environment for exploring and offers a perfect break away with access to a whole range of services and amenities, its tranquil island setting invites everyone to re-connect with nature.
