Overview

This is a pleasant circular walk taking in fields, woods and the coast. Starting at the carpark in Pittencrieff Park, Pittencrieff St, Dunfermline KY12 8AW, the route uses a short section of road with pavement as we leave the city, crossing Liggat’s Bridge, then we follow farm tracks and paths, including the Wagon Road, with a bit more road walking later. The route passes through the Broomhall Estate. From Charlestown we take the Fife Coastal Path to Limekilns, with its impressive Lime Kilns, and then back to Dunfermline via the Fife Pilgrim Way, heading past Douglasbank Cemetery.
