The characterful fishing villages and beautiful beaches that make up this scenic part of Scotland including Anstruther, St Monans, Crail, Elie, and Pittenweem are all easily accessible.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside with views of the Lomond Hills to the west, the area boasts various scenic visitor attractions.

Leven Beach with its expansive promenade and charming outlook over the Firth of Forth is only a fifteen-minute drive.
