The Pow Burn
The Pow Burn is fed by a small loch near the estate of Coodham and is relatively narrow until it reaches Prestwick, where it starts to widen. The burn separates Prestwick & Monkton, it crosses Prestwick airport and flows through Prestwick golf course, where it serves as a natural obsticle. A caravan park has been built at the mouth where it flows into the Firth of Clyde.
The burn is untouched and is one of the last costal wildlife havens in South Ayrshire. Parts are designated as a wildlife corridor and as a wildlife site. It has locally rare habitats and nationally rare species as well as locally uncommon species. All sorts of plants & animals have been sighted at the Pow including sea otters, red admiral, many species of rare dragonfly & hundreds of songbirds such as Thrush & Nightingale
