Generally, the rivers that drain the county flow south and west from the rim of the bowl, converging towards the coast in a series of broad valleys – those of the rivers Garnock, Annick, Irvine, Ayr and Doon. The area is popular with residents, commuters and tourists with attractions including the Doon Valley narrow gauge railway. Ayrshire is separated from the neighbouring Central Belt counties of Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire by a belt of basaltic lavas that form a distinct band of raised uplands to the north and east. Within the bowl formed by these surrounding hills are Carboniferous rocks, both limestones and coal measures, overlaid around the Mauchline area by Permian sandstones.
