What a combination! Landscape, coastline, landmarks and nature fuse together to bring you views of places you might not believe are in the Kingdom of Fife. But they are... and just waiting for you to explore and discover more. Here are just Five from Fife but there’s plenty more to enjoy.  
St Monans

St Monans

Situated on the Fife Coastal Path, St Monans draws people to it with its pretty houses and harbour, not to mention the remains of the once-great Newark Castle.

A climb up to St Monans church will reward you with breathtaking views over the Forth, and you can spot the three piers jutting out from St Monans. Climb a bit further to St Monans Windmill to find out all about the salt production of days gone by.
