Keep following road round the estate until you reach a path to the right that becomes Pleasance Road that connects with Hillseat Road and then to Netherbeath Road, which is a broad track with occasional vehicles...

I created this route (from my sofa!) as a hopefully walkable alternative to Cowbur One which directed people through a bog and over fences near Auchtertool and later through an active quarry site. However there is a dodgy road-walking section on the A909 near Stenhouse Reservoir. Since creating this route I've found some local knowledge about an off-road alternative avoiding that section so I'm now flagging this and recommending Cowbur Three instead....

after heading up Holyrood Place, take a right along Leys Park Road (the road before the route suggested Bellyeoman Road). at the end of this road, there is a cycle path that runs parallel to the suggested route but is completely off road. at the end of the cycle path, cross the road and turn onto Queen Margaret Fauld. follow this road around to then rejoin the route at the turn off onto the farm track. we followed the rest of the route as suggested, which is mostly along quiet country paths. at the Hill of Beath, once you have turned off prior to Rose Cottage, the navigation becomes challenging due to recent works which have disrupted the old paths. it's a shame as otherwise this route would be accessible to everyone but this part lets it down with the poor paths and boggy ground. once into Hill of Beath and Cowdenbeath, the route goes among houses and is mostly pavement walking on quiet roadsides. overall, a lovely route and fairly accessible for all, and even better making the modification at the start to keep the route more off road :)...

A great route on a very well maintained path with only one small section, a few meters, the the path is uneven...
