Overview

Driving to Main Street East Wemyss – taking bus to Lower Largo to start walk.

Walk is via Lundin Links, Leven, Methil, and Buckhaven. Will pass the Wemyss caves at the end but will not be taking a tour of them on this walk. There is a bit of road walking through Leven, Methil and Buckhaven, though the streets we will use are quiet and have some points of interest. 

We will be passing caves and you may wish to bring a torch to see more of the interiors.

Walking poles may be useful as parts of the coastal path may be slippy after the storms.

Bring money or pass for the bus.

PD £9.50 and ITD £2.50
