Dunfermline to Ladybank
A good day trip on National Cycle Network Route 1. The route takes you through the lush countryside of Fife with a short section in Kinross-shire. This route is moderate with some hills but you are rewarded with some stunning views.
Classification: Challenge Distance: 30 miles
Tayport to Broughty Ferry
From Tayport a railway path follows the southern shore of the Firth of Tay to the Tay Road Bridge which is crossed using the elevated cycle path in the centre of the bridge. On the Dundee side of the bridge a lift takes you and your bike down to ground level and to the route through Dundee Docks (security pass required). The traffic-free shoreline promenade and quiet roads lead to Broughty Ferry and Broughty Castle.
Classification: Easy Distance: 8 miles
Kincardine - Charlestown
The route starts just to the east of the old Kincardine Bridge and picks up the “pipe track” into Culross, a 17th Century town worth exploring. The pipe track continues along the shore of the River Forth and past Preston Island. Continue on roads through Newmills and around Torry Bay – with excellent bird watching. There is a steep climb up to Crombie before a cycleway and a drop down a rough road bring you to Charlestown.
Classification: Easy Distance: 11 miles
West Fife Way Clackmannan - Dunfermline
The West Fife Way starts just to the north-east of Clackmannan and follows the course of the former Dunfermline to Alloa railway. Heading west on the cycleway, it’s an easy run to Dunfermline, with the option of diverting to the mountain bike tracks in Devilla Forest or onto minor roads to join National Route 76 along the coast of the Forth Estuary. Look out for the Kingdom of Fife Millennium Cycleway signs with the green diamond – these routes will take you down to the coast.
