Leven to Kirkcaldy
Cowdenbeath to Kirkcaldy
About three-quarters off-road on core paths, with grazing land, kissing gates, self-closing gates, slopes of about 10% and possibly stiles and muddy tracks. There are pavemented in-town road sections at each end. Goes along the banks of Camilla Loch and through Beveridge Park, part of a historic designed landscape. There may be grazing water buffalo. Bring food and drink as there is nowhere to stop and eat. An alternative route avoids the unwelcoming Raith Estate.
Lunch: Nowhere to eat en route — pack lunch!
Warnings: One road section just north of Auchtertool has tight bends and needs extra caution.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Lochgelly to Kirkcaldy
A varied rural walk on tracks and paths through fields and woodland, including a picturesque wooded glen and burn and with short pavement sections beside busier roads at each end. Over 90% off-road. Rough and occasionally steep paths. Mostly uses Fife's core paths. Highlights include the late-18th-century designed landscape of Raith Park and the wooded ravines of the Den Burn. No places to eat or buy food between Lochgelly and Kirkcaldy. A bus service runs between the two towns. Extensive woodland.
Lunch: Nowhere to eat en route — pack lunch!
Warnings: One short core-path section involves climbing a very rickety gate wrapped in barbed wire through undergrowth; it can be avoided via a couple of quiet roads.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
