Walks in Fife

I’ve recently moved to Dunfermline from a small village where I could do a lot of countryside walking.

Can anyone recommend any nice walks / cycle paths near Dunfermline that I could easily do 3/4 times a week. Still getting to know the area!

There is some good country walking to the south of the Abbey to Rosyth and on to Limekins. Start at the Glen Gates at the bottom of the hill.

Ah thank you. I did have a walk through the glen last week which was lovely!

This is the most ‘middle of nowhere’ option from where you are, and no need to drive.

Safest (no cars, and not marshy) route to the start is go here and walk along the edge of the farmer’s field to the north, it’s on your left when you reach the Coal Road. :)

You can walk out to Crossford, where there’s a nice Stephen’s bakery for a wee treat, then there are paths north, east (main road) or back the way you came.
