Shore Road, Torryburn (4 mile option)

A combination of coastal footpaths and inland countryside tracks give this circuit variety. Starting along the promenade, delve into the history of the village of Charlestown as you pass the 14 limekilns which were quarried into the cliffs in the 1700s. Walk on the former Elgin railway followed by a minor road high behind the village before returning to the shorefront via a series of farm and woodland tracks. Pass the impressive Broomhall House en route, as well as the Limekilns War Memorial.

A suggested circular route combining the three summits : discover Knock Hill, Saline Hill and Easter Cairn ! These hills are prominent landmarks in West Fife and Eastern Clackmannanshire and as such provide extensive views of the lower lying countryside. As the 3rd, 4th and 6th highest hills in Fife, Knock Hill, Saline Hill and Easter Cairn (a hillfort site) make up some of the highest ground within the Kingdom.

Known locally as “The Glen”, the beautiful 76 acre Pittencrieff Park was gifted to the people of Dunfermline by Andrew Carnegie. This short walk takes in some of the park’s best bits before allowing you to explore Dunfermline Abbey, burial site of King Robert the Bruce. Keep a look out for the resident peacocks whilst in the park!

This short wonder starts from The Helix car park and goes along the Forth and Clyde Canal Towpath to reach the impressive Kelpies horses statues! This is a family and push chairs friendly route.

The Cleish Hills straddle the boundary between Perth & Kinross and Fife. Made up of tussocky grass moorland they have a real hill feel to them despite not being particularly high. The highest point Dumglow lies within Perth and Kinross, but at 339m the nearby Park Hill is the seventh highest hill within Fife. Although Park Hill could be approached from the Fife side, it is probably best included with an ascent of Dumglow.
