Overview

This is a circular walk from Culross along the Fife Coastal Path to Newmills then up through Valleyfield Woods to Shiresmill. Hopefully we will see some snowdrops but if we have missed them the butterburr should be in flower. From there we make our way past Kirkbrae Wood to the Moor Path above Culross and down past Dunimarle Castle to meet the Coastal Path and return to Car Park.

Great views across the river with plenty of photo opportunities. We will pass places of historical interest.

Local grade C.
