Please note that this section of the Fife Coastal Path is quite a strenuous walk. This event is suitable for people used to walking longer distances.
You will climb up Glenduckie Hill and be able to enjoy views across the Tay to Dundee and Angus Glens, then descend to Balmerino Abbey.This is the third day of our Beach of Dreams journey around the Fife coast.
There are 8 more stages that you can join in by either walking or cycling and each event is free of charge. See Eventbrite and the FCCT website for details and how to book.
Beach of Dreams is a UK-wide coastal arts festival that explores the unique heritage, culture and climate future of our coastline.Fife Coast and Countryside Trust are delighted that Fife is the Scottish location for this creative programme. Presented by Kinetika, Beach of Dreams sees acclaimed and emerging artists commissioned UK-wide to create works to help local communities connect with the natural environment. In Fife, artist Julie Brook will create a tidal sculpture from locally sourced materials, inspired by walks along the Fife coastline and talks with residents and artists. She will also lead workshops with local schools and community groups in partnership with ArtMovesFife.
Please note that this is a one-way walk. The end time is approximate and depends on fitness levels and refreshments stops. It starts in Newburgh, where there are local bus services. You can choose to finish your walk in Balmerino or walk to Wormit. Bus services are limited so plan in advance. Please bring your own refreshments as there is no guarantee that we will stop for lunch near shops and cafés.
