East Neuk of Fife: Elie and Dumbarnie Links: C grade 9.5ml loop
Details
Join us on this leisurely jaunt on Fife's fringe of gold. We walk via an inland route through a small plantation of Scots Pine, across a salt marsh to Dumbarnie Links, where there are dunes and a lovely sand beach. We return along the sand and over the small (63m) Kincraig Hill, where we look down on the rocky chain walk below. We finish walking along Elie beach.
