Fife Coastal Path Walk - Kinghorn to Dysart

Join us for day 5 of the journey along the Fife Coastal Path towards St Andrews. On this stage we will walk 6 miles, starting from Kinghorn. On the outskirts of Kirkcaldy, the path passes the 16th century Seafield Tower. This area is rich in birdlife, and seals can often be seen basking on the rocks. From the Kirkcaldy Esplanade, the path heads to Pathhead Sands, a beach that has unfortunately suffered in recent years from rising sea levels and extreme weather events. It is a location which features in several of John Buchan’s novels. Look out for Ravenscraig Castle which was built by James II for his wife Mary of Guelders.

Follow the path in Ravenscraig park to Sailor’s Walk, perched high above Dysart Harbour and The Harbourmaster’s House where we will finish. Be sure to visit the Harbourmaster’s Café for some refreshments.

Dysart itself is a Royal Burgh dating from the 7th century. You’ll see the 13th century St Serf’s Tower and the restored Pan Ha’ red tiled cottages that look out over the Forth and dominate the shore.
