About This Event

Join us on a walk full of history and gorgeous coastal views. We start in the village of East Wemyss, passing the ruins of Macduff Castle and Wemyss Caves on the way to the pretty tiled houses of West Wemyss. We pass the lovely New Hope Kirk and the tile murals on the cliff walls as we head into Dysart. This is a one-way route, ending at the Harbour Master’s Café if you fancy tea and cake after the walk. Dysart is well served by buses, and at the end of the route participants can choose to walk further into Kirkcaldy or will be guided to nearby bus stops serving routes to Kirkcaldy and beyond, or back to East Wemyss. Additional Information Participants should be able to walk 4.5 miles at an easy pace. Walk is on pavement and track, mostly level.
