Eglinton Country Park, Country park in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

The 400-hectare park contains woodland areas, walking trails, and the Lugton Water river flowing through varied natural landscapes.

The former estate belonged to the Earls of Eglinton and Winton for 600 years, with the castle ruins remaining as evidence of their presence.

The Eglinton Tournament of 1839 marked a grand medieval recreation event, featuring jousting competitions organized by the 13th Earl of Eglinton.

The park includes a visitor center, cafe, camping area with 50 pitches, and offers activities such as fishing, cycling, and horse riding.

The Rackets Hall within the park stands as the oldest existing racquet court worldwide, constructed immediately after 1839.
