Aberdour to Dalgety Bay – Fife Coastal Path walk (one way route)

We start in the pretty coastal village of Aberdour, taking a peek at the impressive castle before setting off through woods and farmland along the Fife Coastal Path. We’ll end our walk at beautiful St Bridget’s Kirk in Dalgety Bay, with its fascinating gravestones overlooking the sea.

This is a one-way route. Aberdour is well-served by trains and buses, and at the end of the route, participants can choose to walk back to Aberdour independently, or will be guided to nearby bus stops serving routes to Aberdour, Kinghorn, Kirkcaldy and beyond.

Please bring your own drinks and snacks if required (there are shops and cafes in Aberdour).

Part of our Communities Connected programme and Fife Climate Festival.
