Just south of Irvine town centre and on the road to Western Gailes.
The second image shows you the limits of the Marsh.
Across the road from Glasgow Gailes Golf Club and surrounded on three sides by Dundonald Links this is a popular area for nature study and dog walking.
There are a couple of ponds and one of the features is a nesting area especially designed for sand martins.
Parking is free, access is by steps over the fences and there's a bus route with a frequent service just to the east. The Marsh is owned and maintained by the Scottish Wildlife Trust.
