The Fife Coastal Path is a long-distance walking route, which stretches over 183 km, along Fife’s magnificent coastline. From the Forth to the Tay Estuary, the path passes through varied terrain, traditional fishing villages and also the historic town of St Andrews. You can set yourself the challenge of walking the whole path, or just choose one section to complete. The full route begins in Kincardine and runs along the east coastline, all the way to Newburgh. It is split into eight sections, with lots of entry and exit points. View the sections. For guests staying with us at Woodside, you can access the path at St Andrews and either head south towards Kingsbarns or north towards Newport-on-Tay.
The Fife Coastal Path is one of Scotland’s Great Trails and thousands of walkers take on the challenge of completing the entire route each year.
