Route: Scotland
Fife Coastal Path
North Queensferry to Newport on Tay 107km/67 miles
A varied path around the firths of Forth and Tay,
including historic towns and villages such as Dysart and St Monans, industrial
heritage such as the famous Forth Bridge, areas of rich natural history interest
and attractive beaches. The walk is a mix of easy, surfaced seaside promenades
and rougher coastal tracks. The path to Crail opened in 2001 and was extended to
Newport in 2003.
Update. A landslip near the southern end of
the East Sands Caravan Park at St Andrews has currently diverted the route. A
new alignment is being negotiated with the landowner.
