Help connect Pittenweem

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 Pittenweem’s Slow Ways.

Look out for the little beach made entirely of shells by the golf course, and a couple of buildings decorated with them in Anstruther....

Navigation is basically easy as the walk uses the well-signed Fife coastal path but the access may vary (see below). Firstly, the coast path has various stretches with two separate inland and coastal/beach path options to cater for high tides covering beaches. Secondly, and more problematically, the coastline here is eroding and path collapses do occur. Those who manage the coast path clearly make a lot of effort to keep it open in one way or another and keep walkers informed....

Mockymock

Walk this route

Easy to walk route following the Fife Coast Path between Pittenweem and Anstruther. Going is easy underfoot, and nice and flat along this section. As a previous reviewer mentioned this would be difficult for someone requiring a wheelchair due to the presence of some styles along the way....

Walk this route

An easy route with few ups and downs and plenty of amenities along the way, and choices of surface, for instance, you can walk Largo Bay round on the dunes or across the enormous sand crescent of the beach. There are plenty of cafes and snack shacks along the route as it winds along the picturesque villages of the East Neuk with the Firth of Forth stretching out to the right, studded by Bass Rock and the Isle of May. The only steep bit is up Kincraig Point with its remnants of a World War II battery, and for the adventurous this can be accessed by a chain walk along the base of the cliff instead....
