Fife Walking
This is a website which contains walking routes in the Kingdom of Fife and beyond.
Below are the five walks in Aberdour.
Dalgety Bay and Aberdour Circuit
A short circular walk between Dalgety Bay and Aberdour utilising the coastal path and returning via woodlands and field edges. 6-10 km (4-6 miles)
Aberdour and Burntisland Circular
A circular route starting and ending at Aberdour, taking you along the coastal path as far as Burntisland before returning using inland paths and quiet roads. 13 km (8 miles)
Aberdour Coast and Woods
Aberdour offers some very fine woodland walking. In particular the area known as The Heughs along the coastal strip towards Burntisland and Humbie Woods at the back of the village and Hawkcraig Point are well worth exploring. 5-10 km (3-6 miles)
Braefoot Woods, St Bridget’s Kirk and the Monks Cave
The area of Braefoot Woods between Aberdour and Dalgety Bay is a popular walking and mountain biking area. Added interest to the walk is available in the form of the wartime fortifications that can still be found in the woodlands and along the coast. Further round the coastline is the intriguing Monks Cave. 3-6 km (2-4 miles)
Cullaloe Hills and The Old North Road
The Cullaloe Hills, to the north of Aberdour, are clad in both mixed woodland and forestry plantation. With their northern slopes eaten away by quarry workings, they would be fairly nondescript if it weren’t for the two follies (Cullaloe Temple and Cullaloe Tower) to be found amongst the trees.
The Old North Road is is part of a route from Burntisland northwards. Cullaloe Hills, Pilkham Hills, Montquey Hill and Dunearn Hill are all are short detours off The Old North Road. 3-16 km (2-10 miles)

The Core Path Network
Scottish Councils have to maintain a register of Core Paths. This map is very useful when planning walks.
Please remember that Core Paths can be any type of path, from public roads and street-lit cycle-ways to muddy, overgrown tracks.
