Fife is criss-crossed with miles of cycle routes, many of them created as part of the Kingdom of Fife Millennium Cycleways. This ride begins in Leuchars and follows a quiet road out of the village to Tentsmuir Forest, which extends over the sand dunes between the estuaries of the Tay and the Eden.
National Route 1 follows the coastline eastwards to Kinshaldy Beach and then north on a traffic-free path beside Tentsmuir Sands and through the Tentsmuir Point National Nature Reserve, before reaching Tayport.
From Tayport, you can continue across the Tay Road Bridge into Dundee Scotland's fourth largest city, with a proud history of seafaring.
