Cycling/Walking Routes

• Are there enough routes for walking and cycling?
• Are walking and cycling given priority over cars and other traffic as much as possible?
• Do routes provide obvious and direct links with the places that people want to go, such as schools, shops, parks and public transport?
• Are routes good quality, attractive and pleasant to use?
• Do routes meet the needs of everyone, whatever their age or mobility, and is there seating for those who need it?
• Do routes feel safe to use all year round and at different times of day?

Skirt the golf course and the rocky shore past Billow Ness to the four old Royal Burghs which constituteAnstruther. This popular tourist village is noted for its award-winning fish and chips, Scottish Fisheries Museum and the Reaper, a herring drifter built in 1900 and used in the filming of the hugely popular Outlander series. From Anstruther, there are daily boat trips during the summer months to the Isle of May nature reserve.

Pass through Cellardyke, with its picturesque harbour, towards Crail and onto open pasture. Livestock may be present in this area so please proceed with caution. Caiplie Caves are a prominent weathered sandstone feature situated almost halfway between Cellardyke and Crail. The route continues past an old salt works before winding its way via some stone steps to Crail, a traditional fishing village with a 17th-century harbour.
