Fife Coastal Path Cycle - Wormit to St Andrews

Join us for the final day of the Beach of Dreams journey with a cycle along the Fife Coastal Path towards St Andrews. This is one of two options, with a guided walk approaching St Andrews from the other direction. On this stage we will cycle 22 miles, starting from Wormit.

The section to Tay Bridge runs along the sparsely populated North Coast of Fife. The landscape and the resulting land use in this part of Fife are quite different from the rest of the county.

We will then follow the cycle path along the old railway line to Tayport Common, where there are great views across the river to Broughty Ferry Castle.

From there we’ll enter Tentsmuir Forest, home to a diverse variety of wildlife including birds, bats, red squirrels and butterflies. The long-distance trail parallels the coast here, where the coast is actually growing due to deposits from the Tay! After the forest it goes along a boardwalk through Earlshall Muir, the last remnant of the extensive wild dune lands that once dominated this coast.

We’ll then skirt the military base and into Leuchars with its fine 12th century Romanesque church then on cycle paths through Guardbridge and on to St Andrews. Here we will meet with those journeying along the Fife Coastal Path from the Kincardine direction. The town itself has many historic and tourist attractions, not least the Old Course, St Andrews Castle and the beautiful beaches, East Sands, Castle Sands and West Sands.
