East Neuk of Fife
Fresh sea air... wide, sweeping beaches...picturesque fishing villages with bustling harbours...and a unique maritime heritage - the delightful East Neuk of Fife is the ideal spot for rest and relaxation.
Travel through the quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk and you travel back through time. The traditional cottages with red pantile roofs and crow-stepped gable ends appear unchanged from earlier times. Fishing boats lie at rest in the harbour following the bustle of unloading their catch as they have done for centuries. Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans, Largo, and Elie... place names as picturesque as the villages themselves.
It is not just the villages that give the East Neuk its appeal, the shoreline of the Firth of Forth is dotted with some of the finest beaches in Britain and some of the most spectacular links golf courses. There are attractive shoreline walks to be enjoyed, as well as a vast array of places to visit, from ancient castles and museums to country parks and nature trails. Add some of the best watersports and sea-angling to be found and you have the perfect venue for a healthy and relaxing visit.
