A walk from North Queensferry to Newport-on-Tay along the golden coastline of Fife.

Over 83 miles, the Fife Coastal Path explores changing landscapes from Fife’s industrial south to the rural north, traversing low cliffs, rocky bays and grass-tufted dunes as it roves between thriving fishing villages and ports. On a self-guided walk, you’ll glimpse grey seals basking on the rocks just off the shore, and count the abundant reminders of Scotland’s rich history, including caves with prehistoric paintings, castles and old watch houses, to name but a few.
The path takes in a large part of Fife’s coastline, with plenty of beachside walking and scenic views over historic ruins to enjoy.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.

“A lovely walk through varied countryside. Good food and B&B. Bags arrived as expected at all stops. This walk is relatively flat and has lovely coastal scenery. Visiting St Andrews is worthwhile.”Mrs Menzies, UK
“Myself and my wife are aged 71 and 68 respectively. We seek walks which are not too challenging. We enjoy coastal walks having previously walked the Norfolk Coastal Path booked through yourselves. The Fife coastal path didn’t disappoint. It’s demanding in stretches, especially the approach to Elie via the headland and the approach to St Andrews where various cliffs require a level of fitness and a high degree of caution. The overall scenery is stunning. June is an ideal month to visit Scotland (we’re from the north of Scotland originally), invariably affording better weather and long bright evenings. In summary, we’d thoroughly recommend our walk from Burntisland to St Andrews. We set aside 6 days to allow us to enjoy a rest day in Anstruther when we visited the Isle of May bird sanctuary. It’s possible to complete the walk in 4 days where we took 5. We’re now looking at our next walk with St Ives to Padstow a possibility.”Mr Henderson, UK
