This extension of St Margaret's Way continues along Fife Coastal path through ancient fishing villages along beaches and over rocks until the spires of St Andrews come into view over miles of rolling fairways. The path continues up through the harbour into the precincts of the ruined cathedral. Pubs etc along the way to Crail and great opportunities for wild camping. Cyclists may have to dismount at times.
