Walking in the Kingdom of Fife I Scotland I Stay in a Pub

With such gems as historic St Andrews, the Home of Golf, and picturesque fishing villages linked along the Fife Coastal Trail, Fife has won a well-deserved reputation as one of the best Scottish regions for walking. With 117 miles of coastal trails, golden beaches and rolling hills, walking in the Kingdom of Fife has much to offer walkers of all abilities.

Wildlife is an important aspect of visiting the region, much of which can be discovered while walking through Fife’s countryside and along its coastline. Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve combines both forests with beaches, where everything from roe deer to seals basking on rocks and sand dunes can be seen while strolling along its marked trails. In the mouth of the Firth of Forth lies the Isle of May, an important seabird colony with Viking roots. Casting off from the pier at Anstruther, you can explore the nooks and crannies of this small island after a short boat journey and unearth its Viking past and the caves which attracted smugglers to its shores.

Pubs are a great alternative to hotels and traditional B&B’s giving visitors a special experience incomparable to your average hotel.
