The B7047 is a short local road heading south from the north Ayrshire town of West Kilbride. It was originally unclassified but had gained its number by 1932.
Meadowfoot Road
The route starts near the station on the B781 one-way loop and heads south along Meadowfoot Road, soon going over the Largs Branch Line at a narrow bridge requiring traffic flow to be controlled by lights. It continues through the suburbs, with bungalows to the right and a mixture of bungalows and older houses on the left. The prominent domed shape of Tarbert Hill rises up ahead, just beyond the houses, so the route bears right at a mini-roundabout to curve around its western slopes. After going under the railway line again, the route enters open country and heads south, slowly dropping down the hill. There are a few houses in the woodland on the left, then the route crosses a couple of fields before finding the town again, with a large modern estate backing onto the route to the right. These houses are accessed from the almost parallel A78 below. The two routes slowly converge and presently the B7047 ends at a T-junction (formerly a fork) on the A78 coast road.
