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.

“A superb walk; the arrangements all went well. The B&Bs were excellent, amongst the best that I have ever used. I had a query with accommodation for the Saturday night, but only noticed at mid-day on that day. It was gratifying that a member of staff was still available by phone on a Saturday and the query was clarified quickly and efficiently.”Mr Hadfield, UK
“We arrived home full of enthusiasm for future walking holidays. Excellent signage and excellent accommodation.”Mr Martin, New Zealand
“We appreciated the fact that someone else was sorting out our accommodation and organising moving our luggage. Everything worked very smoothly.”Ms Hurst, UK
“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
“We are very Happy we chose Contours and value your time, efforts and concern since we began the process last summer.”Mr Bevins, USA
“Great Holiday and Views. Very well organised with splendid accommodation.”Mr Mudd, UK
“The ongoing communication between the Contours team and me was quick, efficient, answered any/all questions and even went beyond to offer added assistance. This made it possible for my wife and I to start the trip comfortable with all the arrangements. We loved every day of the walking tour. I left a daily journal and, on reflection, there was precious little I would alter. This was our second Contours trip and we are still amazed that your team can find the quality accommodations that you find. Our hosts were universally friendly and helpful - in a few cases way beyond that. Would absolutely recommend this holiday to others - and have done so to 5 good friends and we will continue to recommend your company for playing a key role in creating many magic moments! Last one was 2015. This one was 2023. I hope we do not wait as long for the next one.”Mr Spicer, Canada
“The path was clearly marked the entire way. The guidebook was fantastic. The scenery was fantastic!”Mrs Andrews, USA
“To walk the Fife Coastal Path was an amazing experience. One of the best holidays of our life! We will for sure do more such trips with you. Best regards from Switzerland, Claudia Larsen.”Ms Larsen, Switzerland
