Anstruther’s three Slow Ways are 58% checked
Help connect Anstruther
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Anstruther’s Slow Ways.

Beautiful views of the Isle of May and Firth of Forth dominate the first sections, before turning inland for walk through peaceful farmland. The last section is a sometimes tricky up and down along the Coast Path again, with views over St Andrews towards Tentsmuir.

After heading though Kingsbarns, before heading down onto the Coast Path again there is another section along a busy road. The final section is along the Coast Path and has beautiful views of rock formations and the West Sands at St Andrews....
