It is situated close to Irvine Bay and is next to several industrial estates, large supermarkets and retail stores and the town centre itself.

The trail circles the town, passing through Bourtreehill, Girdle Toll, Eglinton Park and Kilwinning.

The New Bailey Bridge or 'Fullarton Arches' provides access to other areas of Irvine and the dual carriage way leading to Kilmarnock and on-wards to Glasgow.

Due to being so close to Riverway Retail Park, Fullarton has many shops and restaurants on its doorstep.

However, birth death and marriage certificates would continue to record events in Fullarton as occurring in the 'Parish of Dundonald' until after 1908.

In 1972 and 1973 large parts of Fullarton were cleared in preparation for the Rivergate Mall development arising from New Town status for Irvine.

Phase Four would have entailed the demolition of the surviving half of Montgomery Street to permit the shopping centre to connect with the Magnum.

On the second Saturday after the first Monday in August, there is a parade in the Fullarton area to celebrate Mary Queen of Scots visiting Irvine many years ago.
