Sitting on the Firth of Clyde in the west of Scotland is Irvine, a moderate-sized town with over 30,000 inhabitants. The town centre offers a range of small shops and supermarkets, as well as various leisure facilities including a 25 metre pool.
These amenities attract visitors from neighbouring towns but Irvine’s real draw is its coastal views - on a clear day you can clearly see the rugged outline of the isle of Arran and the Ailsa Craig. Visitors and locals alike can enjoy these views on the Ayrshire Coast Cycleway which runs from Irvine to Ayr. Alternatively, the beach is a hot spot for dog walkers and families looking to enjoy the outdoors at a slower pace.
Unfortunately for hayfever sufferers, however, Irvine’s beach is surrounded by grassy areas which will likely bring on symptoms. There are also a number of local parks and golf courses which, again, will trigger a runny nose or watery eyes.
Monitoring of local air quality in Irvine has identified High Street as an area of concern in regards to nitrogen dioxide and particulates. We know that pollution can make hayfever symptoms worse, plus it may cause symptoms to arise out with the hayfever season.
Irvine is home to a large variety of weeds and grasses such as foxtail, as well as different types of tree pollen.
In the idyllic surroundings of the town’s Eglinton Park, for example, you will find yew trees which, as well as being impressively large, have a rather long lifespan – some can live up to thousands of years! Alongside yew trees, Eglinton is home to sycamore, field maple, horse chestnut, elm, beech, Scots pine, apple trees and much, much more!
On days where the pollen count is high, there are a few spots in Irvine that are better off avoided. Don’t worry, though, below we’ve listed a few hayfever-friendly activities you can do instead so read on to find out more.
