Cunninghamhead Estate, Medieval castle estate in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

The estate contains a residential caravan park, two private residences, and preserved stables dating from 1820 near Irvine, Scotland.

Originally named Woodhead, the estate first appeared in King David II's charter of 1346 and changed its name to Cunninghamhead before 1418.

Sir William Cunningham supported John Knox's religious reforms during the Great Parliament of 1560, marking the estate's role in Scottish reformation.

The estate now functions as a residential caravan park specifically designed for retired and semi-retired individuals since its redevelopment in 2003.

The mansion house, built in 1747 and considered among Britain's finest houses, burned down during renovation attempts in the early 1960s.
