There is a dedicated free car park specifically for Glenashdale Falls and the Giants' Graves. It is located just south of Whiting Bay on the A841 road (the main coastal road) on the Isle of Arran, Ayrshire. The car park is clearly signposted from the road and provides direct access to the start of the footpath leading up the glen to the falls and the Giants' Graves. It can get busy during peak tourist season on Arran, so arriving early or later in the day might be advisable for this popular Ayrshire walk.
