The centre of Kilmacolm is only about 400 metres away and is a pleasant. mainly level walk through the mature and well established residential part of the village.

In recent years, Kilmacolm village centre, has been redeveloped; it has been hard and soft landscaped, is very pretty with seats, steps and summer flowers making for a pleasant meeting and sitting point. There are local stores offering everyday provisions, popular village restaurants, gift/home stores and coffee shops. The community centre and library are now at the pleasant pedestrianised heart of the village. The local farmers market visits the centre from time to time.
