Open 7 days Lochore Meadows Country Park is a major centre for outdoor recreation and environmental education in Fife. The Country Park is an attractive area, comprising reclaimed coal mining waste-land, gently rolling grassland and woodland. The Country Park is open throughout the year and there are plenty of opportunities for interesting walks and other activities. At the west end of the loch there is a nature reserve with a wheelchair-accessible bird-watching hide.
Took a walk into Lochore Meadows Country park and delighted to find the new Willie Clarke Centre is now open. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed coffee and bacon rolls after our walk and the view over the loch was amazing. The centre was warm and spotlessly clean. Well worth a visit.

Best experience ever! The place was easy to find, all the staff were friendly, knowledgable and sooo encouraging from beginning to end.
The jump itself was just an amazing experience. My instructor, Iain, was great fun and made sure I understood what was happening the whole time. The staff instilled such confidence in everyone taking part, so we could all just relax and enjoy the experience!
I would do it all again in a heartbeat!

So we have been here many times for a bar lunch and drinks.
As for a food goes you can expect your typical pub grub very fair priced.
The bar is a rather nice looking bar with good prices for both beer and spirits. It has a pool table and a darts board.
Most weekend they have some kind of singer on through the back.

See the large and imposing suite of buildings from the 12th to the 17th century with the grand hall-house, thought to be the oldest standing stone castle in Scotland. There is also a delightful walled garden, with scented flowers and a beehive-shaped doocot, which overlooks the Forth. Take a guided tour in summer to see all around the castle including the painted ceiling in the east range, which is a precious survival from the early 17th century. Open all year. Winter Closed Thus and Fri.
Aberdour Castle has some very nice rooms and some ruins that are just like umpteen other Scottish Castles, but has less of the history to go with it. The terraced garden and the dovecot are nice, as is the bowling green. Not terribly interesting, but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Kirkcaldy Galleries is a fresh, contemporary space for visitors to enjoy with a modern Library, Museum Exhibitions, Art Galleries, Local & Family History Room, Visit Scotland Information Centre, Cafe, Shop and a host of other services, including Free Internet.
Not only does it carry the public library, but a beautiful gallery and cafe. The museum attracts shows that wouldn't be expected in such a small town, such as the recent Glasgow Boys Exhibitions, along with offering a bit of history of the town itself. There's even a wee shop too. Well done for celebrating culture in this lovely town!

We’ve walked all 13 miles and a few more bits over the past year or so and I’d definitely recommend it in summer and winter (wear the correct clothing for the weather tho). Many things too see on the walk views wildlife and heritage too. It is used quite heavily by cyclists tho and some are rather inconsiderate to those walking dogs (spend a couple quid and fit a bell to the bike then we’ll know you’re coming). Not many places for a cuppa although there are a few.

Heavy snow fall and a morning walk through the park with the snow laden trees quite stunning when the sun hits them . A lot of dog walkers out today and photographers with the same idea as me .I have my small bag of peanuts to attract the squirrels and robins . I was not disappointed

What an amazing team at Driftland. Friendly, experienced but most of all fun!!
Joe in particular was spectacular, especially the arm out of the window salute as I accomplished a perfect (almost) drift in the final game. Definitely worth a visit if you want to burn some rubber.

Arrived on last race week-end of season and surprised to find out racing had started at 17.00hrs not the usual as advertised time of 18.00 which made parking quite difficult and we had no chance of our usual seat in stand on Saturday night as...MoreThank you for your positive review. I am sorry that the racing had started before your arrival. Racing sometimes starts earlier for larger meetings. We do try to publicise early starts by social media, website etc.

Benarty hill will not top the list of challenging climbs for the serious mountaineer but this lower hill still provides a nice walk. It is accessible mainly from the south, ballingry, hill road, and loch ore meadows (longer walk which also goes over Harran Hill). It is suitable for younger families as well and is a fairly safe hill. A steep climb up a well laid zig zag path takes you up through the forest to a small wall. From there it is a nice gentle undulating walk to the summit. From here the views spread across to the Lomond hills, over Loch Leven, across to the Cleish hills and south over the Fife towns towards the Forth valley. From the small car park area on the hill road, the return journey can easily be done within 2 hours and for the fitter walkers, as little as an hour can be enough.
